Seaport Art Walk Indoor Reception

Join us for the opening of the 2023 Seaport Art Walk indoor exhibition facilitated by New Bedford Creative. As a celebration of the Seaport Art Walk’s 10th year, this exhibition includes a brand new indoor component featuring the work of over a dozen artists, many based here in New Bedford.

Artists showcased at the indoor Groundwork Gallery portion of the art walk include Beatrice and Elaine Alder, Erin Collins and her students at Normandin Middle School, Ramiro Damaro-Comas, Jacob Ginga, Bob Kephart, Kat Knutsen, Grace Lang, Michelle Lapointe, Eric Lintala, Erin Meade and her students at Keith Middle School, Jasmine Milton, Zachary Meunier, Mia Pinheiro, Eli Portman, and Fidel C. Sincu.

New Bedford’s annual Seaport Art Walk was founded in 2013 by artist Jessica Bregoli, and was the city’s first large format outdoor public art installation. Each summer, sculpture and murals are strategically placed along New Bedford’s working waterfront and Seaport Cultural District.

Seaport Art Walk is facilitated by New Bedford Creative, housed at the New Bedford Economic Development Council, and a collaboration with the City of New Bedford’s Parks, Recreation and Beaches, Destination New Bedford, Massachusetts Design, Art, and Technology Institute (DATMA), New Bedford Fishing Heritage Center, UMASS Dartmouth’s College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA), and Bristol Community College (BCC) Visual and Performing Arts Department.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the New Bedford Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency, as well as the City of New Bedford’s Arts, Culture and Tourism Fund, with additional support from Bristol County Savings Bank.
