The school was established in 1970 as Montserrat School of Visual Arts and offered a diploma program. The founders of the school, who were established artists in the Boston area, included Joseph Jeswald, Oliver Balf, George Gabin, Roger Martin, Reno Pisano, Paul M. Scott, James Sweeney, and Vincent Varvaro.
The school was accredited as a college and authorized to award the bachelor of fine arts degree in the mid-1980s, at which time it changed to its current name. In 1992 the school moved to its present location off Cabot Street on Essex Street in the Hardie Building, a renovated 19th century school building that serves as the center of the campus.
Currently, the campus includes the central Hardie Building located on 23 Essex Street; 248 Cabot street, which is home to liberal arts courses, senior illustration studios, and administrative offices; the 301 Gallery which is home to senior studios and the Sculpture department; and apartment-style residence halls. A residence hall, the Helena J. Sturnick Student Residence Village, was also constructed and opened for the start of the fall 2009 semester. The school emphasizes the positives of its small size, which allows more academic attention to the progress of each individual student. Montserrat has an active student body of 390 students as of Fall 2012.
An art school is an educational institution with a primary focus on the visual arts, especially illustration, painting, photography, sculpture, and graphic design. Art schools are institutions with elementary, secondary, post-secondary or undergraduate, or graduate or postgraduate programs in these areas. They are distinguished from larger institutions which also may offer majors or degrees in the visual arts, but only as one part of a broad-based range of programs (such as the liberal arts and sciences). France's École des Beaux-Arts is, perhaps, the first model for such organized instruction, breaking with a tradition of master and apprentice instruction when it was formed.
Montserrat (/mɒntsəˈræt/) is a Caribbean island—specifically in the Leeward Islands, which is part of the chain known as the Lesser Antilles, in the British West Indies. It is a British Overseas Territory. Montserrat measures approximately 16km (10mi) long and 11km (7mi) wide, with approximately 40km (25mi) of coastline. Montserrat is nicknamed The Emerald Isle of the Caribbean both for its resemblance to coastal Ireland and for the Irish ancestry of many of its inhabitants.
On 18 July 1995, the previously dormantSoufrière Hillsvolcano, in the southern part of the island, became active. Eruptions destroyed Montserrat's Georgian era capital city of Plymouth. Between 1995 and 2000, two-thirds of the island's population was forced to flee, primarily to the United Kingdom. The volcanic activity continues, mostly affecting the vicinity of Plymouth, including its docking facilities, and the eastern side of the island around the former W. H. Bramble Airport, the remnants of which were buried by flows from volcanic activity on 11 February 2010.
Montserrat is a British overseas territory in the Caribbean, originally named after the Virgin of Montserrat, itself named after the Montserrat mountain in Catalonia. In Catalan, the name means "serrated mountain".
Montserrat College of Art is a small, private, residential college of visual art and design, founded in 1970 by artists, for artists, educating the creative problem solvers of tomorrow. The college offers the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, continuing education classes for youth, teens and adults, and three galleries exhibiting works by international, national, and regional contemporary artists that offer art education beyond the Montserrat classrooms through a series of public lectures, gallery talks, catalogs and events.

SOME GLIMPSE OF LIFE - Montserrat College of Art
Montserrat Gallery
July 17 – September 3
Teresa Baker - Carly Glovinski - Emma Rhodes
https://www.montserrat.edu/portfolio-item/someglimpseoflife/
“Teresa Baker, Carly Glovinski, and Emma Rhodes redefine the structural design, patterns, and texture inherent in everyday materials. They create familiar objects that behave strangely and strange objects behave ordinarily. Their work is intentionally peculiar and precarious. It challenges our assumptions about the things we interact with every day, like the things we hold and the things that hold us. Some Glimpse of Life is an obfuscation of the familiar and strange– the behavior of objects and materials– the magnification of nostalgia and the overlooked– the moments of life and the everyday.”

POPULAR ART SCHOOLS YOU SHOULDN'T GO TO
hey guys, I distinctly remember stressing HEAVILY over what art school I should go to so I thought I would share the biggest things that helped me decide! Even though I have some funny/bad stories from my art school, I genuinely think it was the best possible choice and was overall a super positive experience!
