DATMA is issuing a National Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a public, outdoor installation on the theme of “shelter” where New Bedford, MA will serve as a canvas for art exploring the role of shelter within the histories, communities, and cultures of the SouthCoast region and beyond.

WGBH morning radio features DATMA on the morning of Thursday August 18th. Jared Bowen discusses DATMA’s theme of Shelter and specifically draws attention to the Flexible Fibers exhibit.

“[DATMA’s] success stands in testament to their ability to connect the past and the present in order to inform the future.” Art New England highlights DATMA in an article showcasing New Bedford’s art and culture within the greater southcoast area.

“Shelter is one of the three most primal necessities of life, right alongside food and water. But to be “sheltered” implies more than just four walls and a roof.” Don Wilkinson covers partner exhibition “Sheltered” at the CVPA Star Store. Read the piece now and see the show until Sept 8th.

“We consider shelter in all its forms and meanings, that’s the theme for this year’s collaborative art venture in New Bedford coordinated by DATMA.” Mindy Todd sits down with DATMA Director Lindsay Miś to talk about DATMA, Shelter, and Community.

“One of the most eagerly anticipated public art exhibitions returns to the New Bedford waterfront with an opening reception on Thursday, July 14,” says New Bedford Creative.

In a zoom call interview, Jay Sugarman meets with Lindsay Miś, Fitzcarmel LaMarre, and Alison Wells to discuss DATMA’s theme “Shelter.”
