SUMMARY:Chair Yoga with Jae
DESCRIPTION:Join Jae’Lynn for a Chair Yoga sessions at Groundwork New Bedford @ 12:15pm in the Shuttle \nWhat to expect: \nChair yoga is a modified form of traditional yoga. Unlike traditional yoga where you often use props for support and assistance\, the prop is your chair. This class is accessible for all ages and skill levels. You will be guided through different poses and breathing techniques as well as a short meditation at the end of class. \nWhy chair yoga? \nChair yoga is super beneficial for people who work at a desk (us). In a coworking space it is easy to get locked in to your work. You can often find yourself hunched over in your chair working at a computer screen. Chair yoga can help you become more aware of your posture and help promote proper alignment. It is great for flexibility and range of motion\, but can also help with de-stressing the mind which in turn will enhance your concentration and productivity! It’s a natural mood booster. \nTake it home (or to work) with you: \nAttending this chair yoga class will benefit your personal daily life/work habits. You can take even a small portion of what you have learned and practice at your own desk or even your couch at any time during your work day. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Space is limited to 20 people so be sure to register > Register here

SUMMARY:AHA! Night featuring Elemental: A Group Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Join us during AHA! October 10th 5pm-8pm to experience ELEMENTAL: Universal energy flow of life  \nConcept and Curation: Tammi J. Meehan \nCommunication through frequency and vibration is the inspiration for ELEMENTAL. Quantum Physics and the influence of music\, energy\, vibration and frequencies on the natural world and beyond is the groundwork for the exhibition. Cell communication has its own musical intonations. These emulations of flow\, similar to a song\, a pause between notes\, can help heal or uplift the energetic resonance of a being and speaks to the silence within. \nThought is tangible and in fact negative thoughts have more energetic weight to them than positive ones. The reason we tend toward more negative than positive thoughts is because it’s simply easier. The birth of the universe\, consciousness itself\, originated from sound\, vibration\, frequency. What holds all material form together is constantly vibrating\, an energetic current. Artists invited to this show illuminate their unique observations of energetic impulses from the natural world including what is beyond the visible; imagination itself. Ideas pulse\, prod and push beyond the confines of the material world. \nThe artists depict flow\, cycles\, change\, sound and energetic frequencies. Drawing from material elements; wood\, air\, fire\, water\, the show expands to include portrayals of thoughts\, energetic frequencies and light itself. From the human vascular system\, Mycelial biomass\, or the influence of frequency on form\, the lens expands from micro to macro including cosmic elements and the unseen. The intention of the exhibition is to elucidate the most common\, fundamental element of all. In coaxing the viewer to expand the portals of their imagination the artists’ work collectively illicit a sense of discovery while honoring creativity and a reverence for the universal life force\, Prana or Ch’i. \nThis exhibition posits the existence of an additional element outside the realm of what is visible. In channeling this life force energy\, the artists dance it into the density of form. This primordial drive to create is the thread that binds us all together. In flow\, we align and co-create. \nList of Artists: \n\nMichael Hecht\nKirstin Ilse\nAmy Lund\nChristine Maiato FitzGerald\nTammi J. Meehan\nAmanda J. Moore\nChris Page\n\nExhibition dates are September 1st- October 17th. We welcome  the public to visit and enjoy this exhibition during our staffed hours Monday-Friday from 9:00am-2:00pm\, or by appointment. All works sold in our commission free gallery go directly into the pockets of the artists. \nThis event is supported in part by the Wicked Cool Places grant funded by the City of New Bedford\, through American Rescue Plan awards\, and its Arts\, Culture and Tourism Fund\, and is facilitated by New Bedford Creative at the NBEDC.

SUMMARY:Since We Last Spoke: A UMassD Illustration Alumni Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Join us during aha! June 13th 4pm-7pm for an opening art exhibition featuring the UMassD Illustration Alumni and a live musical performance by Skyjelly! Since We Last Spoke will be on display at Groundwork June 3-June 28th. Visitors are welcome M-F 9am-2pm\n.\nGroundwork is thrilled to welcome UMassD graduates for an exhibition that celebrates the art of illustration. Since losing the Star Store\, faculty and students of UMassD’s College of Visual Performing Arts have been eager to reconnect with the New Bedford art community\, and this exhibition is the seed of new beginnings.\n.\n\n“125 years ago\, the Quest Center was part of the Swain School of Design\, a creative force during New Bedford’s manufacturing heyday. Now a part of UMass Dartmouth’s College of Visual Performing Arts (CVPA)\, those art\, design\, and artisanry students are making their way through a very different world. Graduates today have to be creative not just with the work that they create\, but in how they generate and find opportunities for themselves. In exhibiting here at Groundwork\, these UMass Dartmouth graduates are harkening back to CVPA’s roots. This exhibition also includes work that celebrates Pride month. The LGBTQIA+ community is well represented in the world of illustration\, and has contributed in major ways to the field.\n.\nIllustration is art that speaks to people in a direct\, accessible way\, even when it is un-commissioned work. It does not need to be attached to a text. Recent Illustration alumni are organizing community art events\, publishing webcomics\, exhibiting at local festivals\, illustrating Marvel characters\, tarot card decks\, murals\, solo gallery exhibitions\, and more. They cover a broad swath of creative output that can attach itself to nearly any field. The work on exhibit here ranges widely in style\, process\, and subject matter\, but even then it does not cover all of what illustration can be.”\n.\n\n– Jess Worby\, Assistant Teaching Professor\, Illustration\n\n\nCollege of Visual and Performing Arts at UMD\n\n.\n\nThis event is supported in part by the Wicked Cool Places grant funded by the City of New Bedford & facilitated by NB Creative

SUMMARY:Double Take with Robin Nunes and Barbara Healy
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Groundwork Gallery on May 9th at 5pm for an art opening reception featuring artists Robin Nunes and Barbara Healy. This is a free event and open to the public. Double Take will be on display from May 1st – June 1st. Guests are welcome to drop-in for a gallery visit during our business hours Monday-Friday 9am-2pm. \nRobin Nunes is a full time award-winning fine artist who lives and paints in South Dartmouth. She is a member of the Attleboro Art Museum\, Southcoast Artists\, Four Corners Gallery\, and Westport Art Group. Robin is from Chesapeake\, Virginia\, where she would often visit the capturing canals and beautiful coastlines in her backyard. Her art journey began in the mangroves of Key West\, and has migrated to the beautiful South Coastal region of Southern Massachusetts. Her love of Nature has brought her to the love of painting en plein air. Beaches and birds are her favorite subjects to paint.\n\nWhether it’s painting seascapes or landscapes\, her use of a palette knife adds a whimsical and playful approach to her art. She is currently represented by Norton Gallery\, Padanaram\, Attleboro Art Museum\, Attleboro\, MA\, Four Corners Gallery\, Historical Tiverton\, RI\, and Spring Bull Gallery\, Newport RI\, Fakes and Forgeries Exhibit. Ms Nunes is a graduate from UMASS and in addition to being an artist\, is the author of The Nunes Family Cookbook and had her first book signing at the Miami International Book Fair.\n\n\nBarbara Healy is a contemporary artist working in oils and acrylics. A Connecticut native\, Barbara fell in love with the South Coast\, and her husband Shaun\, while getting her BFA at UMASS Dartmouth and stayed. Her studio in Dartmouth\, MA has been on the South Coast Artists Open Studio Tour for 13 years.  She is a board member of Westport Art Group\, a Juried Artist Member of the Cape Cod Art Center\, and also teaches painting. Her award-winning paintings are in Massachusetts and Rhode Island galleries and corporate collections including Bristol County Savings Bank in New Bedford and Tobey Hospital in Wareham.\n“My paintings are inspired by the diverse colors of light in the beautiful coastal landscape where I live.  I frequently paint plein air\, using all my senses to share my vision. Paintings capture that feeling of peace and joy that nature gives. I look for what is unique\, to convey a sense of place. Although often evoked by a fleeting moment\, I translate in paint to transcend time. Brushstrokes over glimpses of color intentionally reveal some of the painting process and layering enables me to create luminous color. Although I love oil paints on canvas\, I am always experimenting.”
