As you all know the three award winning galleries at Montserrat are a huge part of the curriculum here, and curator Leonie Bradbury and Assistant Curator Shana Dumont do a fantastic job of bringing emerging and established artists from all over the world to the Montserrat Campus.The gallery brings relevant and innovative exhibitions to the fingertips of the Montserrat Community, and is also is a valuable teaching tool. Each semester the gallery employs students to be involved in all aspects of running the gallery, giving those students valuable knowledge and insight into how a successful, professional gallery is operated. That being said, we are all very proud of four Publication Awards they recently received from the New England Museum Association 2009 Competition.
In the Exhibition Catalogues, under $10 category, “Many Kinds of Nothing” and “In Pursuit of Beauty” (both shows were in our Main Gallery) won Joint First Place; in the Calendars of Events & Programs category, Visiting Artists Spring 2008 won Joint Second Place; and in the Posters category, “Therefore & Because: Decoding Norman Laliberte” won Third Place. Chair of Graphic Design, John Colan, designed the catalogs and poster and alumna Jen Nazzaro '04 designed the Visiting Artist brochure.
The selections were made from a pool of 209 publications submitted by 70 museums entered in 19 different categories.
Congratulations to Leonie, Shana, John and Jen!
