Here at Montserrat College of Art we see each of our students as whole artists - as individuals with tremendous talent and potential. We pride ourselves on being a small college where students are valued as both individuals and members of a supportive and inclusive community. The relationships they establish here and the life-skills they cultivate will travel with them for life.

We offer many programs throughout the year that enable students to demonstrate their individual talents and take the risks in their learning and art-making that only an intimate, supportive community can provide. Our faculty members are professional teachers and artists who become trusted mentors and lifelong friends.

Our programs are tailored to where learning tales place –

both inside and outside the classroom. We offer programs in time management, diversity, current issues, and gallery trips to Boston and New York City, internships and apprenticeships, opportunities to volunteer in the community, and programs for fun and relaxation; such as our acoustic throwdowns, movie nights, and video game tournaments. We also have a student run art gallery – the Bear Gallery – that provides the experiential education of organizing and operating a professional gallery.

Theirs is not a typical academic path, but an extraordinary journey as a visual artist.

Residence life at Montserrat College of Art is as distinctive as the college itself. Each building has its own unique feel, and all of our residence halls are apartment style with living rooms, kitchens, and shared or single bedrooms. We also offer an off campus dining plan for added convenience.

If you have any questions about any of our programs, from when your student is a freshman up to their graduation, please send me an e-mail at bbicknell@montserrat.edu. We’re here to make their experience the best it can be.
