SUMMARY:Art Opening: All Growed Up by Jim Charette
DESCRIPTION:Join us for “All Growed Up\,” the fourth installment in a series of exhibitions by artist Jim Charette. \n“All Growed Up” showcases a remarkable 40-year journey since his days at Swain School in the late 1980s. This exhibition marks a homecoming to one of the former Swain School buildings at GWNB\, where Charette’s artistic path began. \nEvent Details\n📍: Groundwork Gallery\, New Bedford\, MA \n📅: Friday\, August 8th\, 2025 \n⏰: 6pm-8pm \nAbout the Exhibition\n“All Growed Up” reflects Charette’s evolution as an artist\, weaving together the threads of his career as a painter\, cartoonist\, tattoo artist\, and more. The series began with “Sad Little Boys” (2014) at The Abattoir in Kilburn Mills\, voted Best Show in the Southcoast by art critic Don Wilkinson for the New Bedford Standard Times. Followed by “An Orderly Chaos” (2018) at Douglass Gallery\, and “Still Playing with My Crayons” (2023) at Ignition Space in Fall River\, MA. \nDuring the 2023 exhibition\, Charette had a revelation while reflecting in the gallery. His seemingly disparate styles and career shifts were all connected. “I make the art of Jim Charette\,” he realized\, embracing the unity of his work. This clarity inspired a relentless creative drive\, culminating in “All Growed Up.” The title\, a playful nod to a line from Diner—”our little boy is all growed up”—also carries deep significance\, symbolizing Charette’s return to his roots while celebrating the artist he always wanted to be\, inspired by his childhood love of comics and cartoons. \nWhy You Should Attend\nThis exhibition is a vibrant celebration of resilience\, self-discovery\, and artistic growth. Visitors will experience a dynamic collection that traces Charette’s journey\, from his early days copying comics to his multifaceted career. Hosted in a space tied to his past\, “All Growed Up” invites you to join Charette on a ride through four decades of creativity\, where every piece tells a story of connection and purpose. \nCome explore the art of Jim Charette—serious\, playful\, and unapologetically his own. \nArtist Bio: After attending Swain School NBMA\, in the 80’s\, Jim worked as staff editorial cartoonist for two years at the Fall River Herald News. He worked as a graphics artist for five years for local screen printers while freelancing cartoons and illustrations. And he was a professional tattoo artist for five years at two parlors in RI before being sidelined by health issues in the early 2000’s. Jim’s work has appeared in numerous newspapers\, magazines\, books and assorted underground publications in the alternative press. His art has also been featured in numerous group and solo art shows throughout the US and internationally. Jim has produced dozens of videos featuring all original improvised music and digital manipulations of public domain footage for public access channels in MA and RI.

SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: "Cord-ura; Sanity" by Paulina Fuenzalida-Guzmán
DESCRIPTION:Groundwork is proud to host Cord-ura; Sanity\, a self-guided mixed-media art exhibit by Paulina Fuenzalida-Guzmán. Through thread\, memory\, and personal transformation\, Paulina examines the delicate balance between mental health\, identity\, and belonging in an increasingly unstable world. \nThere is no formal opening for this art exhibit. Self-guided viewing is encouraged during our business hours. M-F 9am-2pm. No appointment required. \nIn this body of work\, textiles become their own emotional language — stitching together experiences of rupture and renewal. The exhibition includes pieces created across different chapters of the artist’s life: reflections on collective trauma and human rights struggles in Chile\, intimate explorations of loss and maternal connection\, and new works that consider how we preserve sanity amid uncertainty. Together\, they trace an invisible cord that holds memory\, tenderness\, and endurance. \nVisit the Exhibition\nThis exhibition is free and open to the public starting Dec 16-Mar 31 2026 during Groundwork’s staffed hours:\nMonday–Friday\, 9:00 AM–2:00 PM\nGroundwork New Bedford\n1213 Purchase Street\, New Bedford\, MA\nEnter through the doors on 1 Maxfield Street.  \n  \nLearn More About the Artist\nWebsite: https://paulinarte.wixsite.com/my-site\nInstagram: @paulina_arte\nEmail: paulifuenza@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Member Event: Monthly Self-Guided Meditation
DESCRIPTION:Monthly self-guided meditation at Groundwork is the perfect addition to your workday whether you’re new to meditation or looking to deepen an established practice. \nAt Groundwork\, we care about our members and the energy they bring to their work. That’s why every third Tuesday of the month\, we transform the Eaton into a soft self-guided meditation space for members to pop in and realign. No sign up required. The space is available 11am-1:30pm for members to come as they are and as they need. \nWhy meditate at work?\nThe positive impacts of a regular meditation are numerous. Meditation can: \n\nHelp reduce stress and anxiety\nReduce loneliness\nHelp you make fewer errors\nHelp you prioritize your tasks to work faster and more effectively\n\nHow to start a self-guided meditation practice at work:\n\nGet comfy: Sit or lie down on the floor or stay in a chair if it’s supportive.\nClose your eyes.\nBreathe deeply in a rhythmic pattern.\nWhile you’re breathing deeply\, turn your focus on each breath.\nIf you get distracted\, that’s ok\, simply acknowledge the distraction and return to noticing your breath\nAs you become more experienced\, you’ll find that your mind will be less distracted and able to focus on each breath.\nStart with five minutes of meditation at first and try to build up to 20 minutes daily\, increasing by time increments that are workable for you. If five minutes is what works for you\, that’s perfect\, too!\n\n✨ This is a member only event. Not a member\, but want to be? Learn more! \nQuestions? Email team@groundwork.space or give us a call 508-441-4622
