Montserrat celebrates the work of our students each spring during what is known as Open House Weekend. Due to the pandemic of the last several semesters, the actual awards ceremony and open house was not held, but students were still presented the annual scholarship awards.
The mission of Open House is to recognize and to honor the accomplishments of student artists and scholars, and to see and share the college’s creative spirit. This annual weekend event (when safe to be held) includes the enjoyment of visual and literary art forms and social activities involving the entire college community, the public, alumni, parents, friends and future students of Montserrat College of Art.
