“Art is nothing new in New Bedford. What’s new, especially in visual art, is exhibiting artists with star power.”
Cait McQuaid, Boston Globe Contributor
Call for Art made by SouthCoast creatives: Open Studios on the Sidewalk
Application now open.
To celebrate DATMA’s 2023 theme of “Shelter” we will highlight the important role of artists in shaping and creating their local community, the ultimate shelter for a city. Up to 10 SouthCoast MA (from Fall River to Wareham, as far north as Brockton) artists will be selected and provided a $500 stipend for the loan of artwork files. Selections will be announced on April 21. Free to apply. Exhibition will open June 22, 2023 and be exhibited on MacArthur Drive on New Bedford’s working waterfront.
All media will be accepted, but must be submitted via Slideroom in the form of a digital file, ultimately to be reproduced as large-scale photographs or QR code if an audio-based artwork. Deadline April 11th. Apply here.
Jeremiah Hernandez, Guest Juror for DATMA Program Committee
Superflat NB Co-Founder, cofounder of UGLYgallery, and Director of Strategic Initiatives at Entrepreneurship for All (EforAll). Hernandez describes himself as a Smile Selling, Results Driven, Creative, Entrepreneur, Community Builder, and Public Art Advocate. Jeremiah says that entrepreneurship, business, technology, art, community, and people, have elevated his awareness to the greater needs and missed opportunities not currently available to many. No art academia experience. His interests have been shaped by lived experience, street art, and the culture around it. Raised to make waves in boardrooms, his goals have pushed him to bring his own chairs to tables his community has typically been left off of. Radical Candor and solutions focused communication drive his deep connections that have produced orgs, and businesses that bring equitable impact to the community at large.
