There are no limits in this expanding media-rich environment, which includes traditional and digital imaging,audio and video media
It is though the discerning eye of the photographer and videographer that the world and all of its beauty and wonder, news, and information, is brought into our lives.
As Dorothea Lange said “The world is potentially full of good photographs. But to be good, photographs have to be full of the world.” It is this maxim that drives photographers’ curiosity, inspires their creativity, and informs their work.

Montserrat was born in the late sixties, a time when people were questioning the status quo and seeking new solutions.
A group of artists who were working and teaching in the Boston area had a bold idea: to create a new kind of art school in Massachusetts for professional education in the visual arts – a school that would not only focus on the arts, but would also focus on the individual needs of each student. A simple idea, but one that had seldom been attempted and rarely achieved.
Foregoing the security – but also the limitations – that traditional institutions offered, these artists labored to breathe life into their idea.
In the early years, Montserrat School of Visual Arts, as it was then called, offered a professional diploma in the same studio concentrations for which it is known today. By the 1980s, this still-young Massachusetts art school was accredited and granted the authority to award the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. With that milestone came a new name: Montserrat College of Art.
By 1990, Montserrat had outgrown its original facility and moved to historic downtown Beverly, Massachusetts, into the Hardie Building, a newly renovated, nineteenth century building with expanded teaching facilities. Steadily, the art college acquired residence halls and the Cabot Studio Building, establishing a vibrant and eclectic seaside Massachusetts campus.
Today, the dream of those artists back in the sixties is a reality. Just as they had hoped, creativity flows at Montserrat College of Art. Students are drawn by the intensive studio environment and one-on-one instruction from our faculty of accomplished artists, designers, and scholars.
At Montserrat art school you will find a place of inspiration, respect, and encouragement, where you can develop your talents and achieve your vision of the future.
We will act like tourists in our own city capturing landmarks and exploring hidden places and spaces as well. Students will create postcard-worthy images of our favorite city, Boston! Please note this class is 10-2pm, Tuesday, Wed and Thursday.
