"This Collective Pull" is Bea Modisett's '07 latest curatorial project.  This show will feature the work of a number of Montserrat College of Art alumni who have stayed local and who have been maintaining a studio practice, but not necessarily showing their work.  For one night only we will be taking over the walls of a friend's apartment to showcase our efforts, brainstorm possible new collaborations and bring to focus the lively arts community that exists in Beverly, independent of the school.  This is the first opening of many shows to come that will bring to light the artistic energy of those alumni who choose to stay local after graduation.

The night will consist of great art, food, wine, lots of music and probably way too much dancing. Artists include:  Justin Bothwell '05, Peter Breffini '07, Brendan McCauley '07, Bea Modisett '07, Julie O'Boyle '06, Emily Pardoe '07 and Justin Paszul '07. The show will be taking place at 66 Dane Street, Second Floor Beverly MA on Friday, June 12 beginning at 7:00.  We hope you will join us, and please contact Bea at beamodisett@yahoo.com if you have any questions! 

Bea Modisett and participating artist Julie O'Boyle '06 both work as Admissions Counselors at Montserrat, while still maintaining their own private studio practice.
