Registration is open for the 2027 Art Educator Summer Institutes.

You spend the school year nurturing your students’ creativity. This summer, make some time for your own. Our Summer Institutes give K-12 teachers, college faculty, and graduate-level educators the chance to step away from the front of the classroom and back into the studio, alongside fellow educators from across the country.

There are three residencies to choose from. In Beverly, spend a week in our studios in the heart of downtown’s Arts District, taking workshops with Montserrat faculty in painting, printmaking, illustration, stop-motion animation, fiber, and more. The week includes an artist talk, a field trip to artistic sites around the North Shore, and an Open Studio Exhibition to share what you made. Commuter and residential options are both available. In New Mexico, paint and draw in the desert landscapes around Santa Fe and spend time in some of the country’s most inspiring art museums. In Japan, travel to Niigata and Tokyo with our longtime partners at Niigata College of Art and Design for hands-on workshops and cultural visits.

Every program earns Professional Development Points, and we’re happy to work with your district to make sure your time with us meets local requirements.

Return to your profession in the fall with new skills, new work, and a renewed connection to your own practice. Spots fill on a first-come, first-served basis, so register through the link in our bio.
