SUMMARY:Art Closing: All Growed Up by Jim Charette
DESCRIPTION:Last chance to check out the captivating exhibition “All Growed Up” by Jim Charette at the Groundwork Gallery! \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\, September 26th\, 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: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.

SUMMARY:Art Reception for Elemental: universal energy flow of life
DESCRIPTION: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.

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.”

SUMMARY:3rd Annual Anchor Academy Student Art Show
DESCRIPTION:The Groundwork Gallery is happy to host the 3rd Annual Anchor Academy Art Exhibit! This event highlights beautiful works that were created during Anchor Academy’s Art Class throughout the year. \nJoin us for the opening reception on Thursday\, April 11th\, from 4pm to 7pm at Groundwork Gallery\, at 1213 Purchase Street in New Bedford\, MA. Our doors are open to the public Monday through Friday\, 9am-2pm. \n*Use the entrance on Maxfield Street* \nThis year’s edition focuses on students’ answers to the question\, Now What? All school year long each assignment while containing technical skill building components also existed within a theme. Asking the big questions that artists grapple with is a key driver to revealing the meaning behind student artwork. Specifically\, a student may be asked to render a realistic drawing of a still-life but furthermore they are challenged to keep in the fore how to answer the question\, Now What? This practice has led to the type of maker experience that values expression\, beauty\, and truth equally.

SUMMARY:Gallery Opening Reception - Variation x 3
DESCRIPTION:Details on new work\, coming soon!Please join us July 13th 6-9pm at Groundwork! For the opening reception of Jade Gotauco\, Matt Finger and M. Caszhen. The Gallery is open Mon-Fri 9-5. Weekends are by appointment only. \nJade Gotauco: Jade is self-taught artist\, born and raised in Rhode Island. She has been working professionally as an artist in many mediums since 2005. From 2008-2010\, she operated Go Gallery on Bellevue Avenue in Newport\, across the street from the acclaimed Newport Art Museum. At that point\, she wished to focus on producing more work in an intimate informal setting. And so began GOstudio. Jade gels best with the vibe of Warren’s working class fishing village\, so that’s where you’ll find GOstudio today. \nJade’s work is primarily in oil painting and scrimshaw\, but she rarely shies away from trying something new. Newer works introduce visual meditations on food\, politics\, music\, and both the privilege and struggle of being a working artist in our society. \nOn a constant mission to stay mindful in this fast-paced American life\, Jade utilizes the color spectrum from black to white\, attempting to uncover the balance within chaos. Raised in a mixed culture from Asian to Irish\, from fishermen to musicians and lawyers\, the eclectic nature of her upbringing has developed into a lifestyle that insists upon a compulsion to explore\, learn\, and create beyond the comfort of tradition. \nMatt Finger: Matt Finger’s pieces are created with a variety of media including acrylic paint\, chip board\, gessoed papers\, MDF board and resin. When completed the pieces have a glassy\, tile-like feel. The work tends to work well in small series or grids. Within the paintings\, he explores color harmony and variations of texture and form. \nM. Caszhen: M. Caszhen is an established working artist gone rogue. Using found items dating from ancient to vintage\, they move away from their traditional 2D style and into a probe of multidimensional shape\, body\, and time. Caszhen has been producing and selling their work since 1992 throughout the New England area.

SUMMARY:The Inner Workings of Joe Banda - Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception of Joe Banda June 1st 6-9pm.\nThe show will be up until July 6th. \nJoe Banda: My artwork is an ongoing conversation I have with myself. I focus mainly on my anxiety\, fears\, failures\, and disappointments. I am motivated by the frustration of working a day job\, current events\, political uneasiness\, and seasonal depression. \nI am influenced by American folk art\, Japanese block printing\, contemporary tattooing\, outsider art and all things counter culture. I use a stream of conscious approach while working\, to keep an honest representation of my own human experience. \nThis program is supported in part by a grant from the New Bedford and Dartmouth Local Cultural Council\, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council\, a state agency

SUMMARY:Opening Reception: The Artwork of Richard Goulis and Paul Everett
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the opening of Artwork by Richard Goulis and Paul Everette. During the opening there will be a one of a kind\, original interactive performance by Richard Goulis. \nRichard Goulis is a multi-media artist and came to Providence in 1980 to attend the Rhode Island School of Design. During his studies in the Film/Animation/Video department he became aware of the local artistic community due to his frequent forays into the mysterious city and his development of various artistic projects outside the RISD community. His earliest performance art pieces have become part of the lexicon within the Rhode Island and RISD community and beyond. He was the recipient of the RISCA Fellowship for New Genres and numerous RISCA project grants\, as well as research and development grants from The Rhode Island Council for the Humanities. His performance work has been seen at festivals around the world and his video pieces are in the collection of The Museum of Art\, Rhode Island School of Design\, Corning Museum of Glass\, and many private collections. \nThrough his video work on the NetWorks series (a Rhode Island-based arts project co-created with Umberto Crenca and produced annually by Joseph A. Chazan\, M.D. since 2008) he has showcased the work of selected artists who have played vital roles in shaping the contemporary visual arts community in Rhode Island. The collection of brief video portraits\, which is currently being shown on public television\, provides a window into the lives\, practices\, and cultural contributions of professional artists. \nHe is currently working with Sheryl Kopel on a documentary project about the Artist Space\, AS220 in Providence\, RI. \nHe is the Founding Artist Director of The Worcester Artist Group\, in Worcester\, MA and was the Founding Artistic Director of The Harwood Art Center in Albuquerque\, NM. \nAbout Paul Everett \nI grew up in an artistic\, creative family. From an early age\, I was enrolled in various art classes. I had a cup of coffee at RISD\, which was interrupted by a brief tour with the band I was singing with at the time. Thus ended my higher education in the arts. I’ve been singing for various bands (including Coat of Arms\, Plan 9\, and currently Hope Anchor)\, have toured most of this continent playing music\, and was recently inducted into the R.I. Music Hall of Fame. All the while\, there has been engagement in the visual arts\, as well. \nEarly on\, I painted watercolors and drew the figure and landscape. This grew into a love for printmaking and eventually shifted to a focus on painting. I paint primarily in acrylics\, but will use whatever is at hand for applied and surface media. \nThe work is typically non-representational and abstract\, but is informed by land-patterns and cityscapes with merging vantage points\, as well as an attention to design aesthetic. Nature versus industry is a common thread throughout most of my work. \nI paint at night\, usually in poor light\, and this adds a degree of natural spontaneity and surprise to the process. Painting is a cathartic process for me\, and so each piece conveys its own emotionality. Working in the abstract allows me to engage honestly in the cathartic whim\, or moment.

SUMMARY:Closing Reception & Artist Talk: Umberto Crenca and William Schaff
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the closing of this blockbuster exhibition of works by Rhode Island-based artists Umberto Crenca and William Schaff. The reception will include an artist talk! \nUmberto Crenca (Bert) is a visual artist\, performance artist\, and musician with a long exhibition and performance history. His work appears in the permanent collections of the Rhode Island School of Design and Newport Art Museums\, and in numerous private collections. \nBest known for being co-founder and longtime artistic director of AS220\, a nonprofit center for the arts in downtown Providence\, Bert is a passionate advocate of the conviction that all people should have access to the means to cultivate and express their creativity. He has received numerous honors and awards for his community work and holds honorary doctorates from Roger Williams and Brown Universities. \nWilliam Schaff has been a working artist for over two decades. Known primarily for his mastery at album artwork\, (Okkervil River\, Godspeed\nYou! Black Emperor\, Mighty Mighty Bosstones\, Songs: Ohia\, etc.) Schaff is also the founder of Warren Rhode Island’s “Fort Foreclosure”. The building\, lovingly named without the least bit of irony\, serves as Schaff’s home and studio as well as home and meeting place for other artists (most notably resident musicians MorganEve Swain\, and the Late David Lamb\, both of Brown Bird). William\, recognizing the importance of art in this world\, recently expanded his community to the West Coast\, where he started “The Outpost”\, in Oakland\, California. William filled his days creating works of art for private commissions\, bands\, exhibitions and his own examinations of human interaction. He has since returned to Rhode Island and can be found\, daily\, working in the Fort. \nWe will have music\, food and drinks on hand! Come see this extensive exhibit and meet the artists!
