Montserrat College of Art presents, Pastime: The Art of the Game

Mass-produced games of all types, including interactive toys, board and card games have entertained the public since the nineteenth century. The North Shore is home to a rich history of game design and production, notably Parker Brothers which was founded in Salem, MA in 1883. In multiple galleries,&nbsp;Pastime: The Art of the Game&nbsp;highlights the artistic design and the aesthetic experience of game play. The exhibition features a selection of iconic Parker Brothers games, including&nbsp;Monopoly, Nerf,&nbsp;and&nbsp;Bop-It.&nbsp;Also presented are installations of the World War II strategy games&nbsp;Axis and Allies&nbsp;by Larry Harris and the popular children’s stacking card game&nbsp;Rhino Hero&nbsp;by art directors and toy designers Steven Strumpf and Scott Frisco.&nbsp;Pastime&nbsp;illustrates the art of game design through the presentation of drawings, prototypes, and early production models, linking the legacy of innovation in game design unique to the region to an emerging generation of young game designers at Montserrat College of Art. The exhibition will be accompanied by a robust series of programs, including an interactive gaming space within the exhibition as well as a series of public talks by game designers, and events for students and the public. Organized by the Montserrat Galleries in collaboration with gaming pioneer John Sutyak, founding member and Chief Creative Officer of Hasbro Interactive and former Montserrat trustee.&nbsp;Pastime&nbsp;also showcases contributions from Montserrat faculty and students in the Games, Toys and Play concentration. The exhibit’s promotional materials were created by graphic designer and Montserrat alumni, Elliot Gale (’24).
