Yes, it’s that time again, everybody’s graduating!! One of our interns just graduated from High School, we are so proud of his work at Wallpusher, and excited for his future.
What do you do after high school? If making things is in your blood, art school might be the place to hone those skills on your way to making a career in the many fields. As guitar makers, we give internships to highschool and college students in the local schools to give back to the community, and help students get concrete experience in fields that they may become leaders in one day. As artists and creative people, we are so excited about all the options available to students in our area. Who knows what the future creative professionals will come up with, when their starting point is as wonderful as it is! We have interns interested in continuing their careers as sculptors, guitar makers, leather workers, furniture makers, and even as professionals in Pixar and animation!
Local Art Colleges abound for people with interest in the creative field. The study of art is a growing focus for many students. These students interested in art have a collage of different schools to choose from in the Massachusetts area. Montserrat College of Art, in Beverly MA, was in fact started by a group of artists in the Boston area in the 1960’s. Montserrat College offers an extensive curriculum, collaboration with other artists and a community of artists all developing their talents.
MassArt is located in the heart of Boston, founded in 1873. This school offers one undergraduate degree and three graduate degrees. Mass Art holds the mission of providing experience with the community, creating a diverse perspective on art, establishing value for this artistic work and the incorporation of art with the economy.
The SMFA, in Boston, provides a wide range of education in art. Founded in 1876, education here includes the study of ceramics, drawing, film/animation, glass, metals, painting, performance, photography, sculpture, sound, image of art and video.
Gordon, founded in 1889, is located in Wenham, MA. Artists here can develop their skill in design, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and art education. Gordon’s art major is focused on traditional artistic skills. This college proves to be well-known among other Christian art colleges. The education in art is forever endless.
