EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: Lindsay Miś
Lindsay Miś has a passion for working with artists and making an impact in her community with public art. A longtime New Bedford based artist, Miś has been DATMA’s founding Director since 2018 and launched it’s inaugural program season entitled, Summer Winds. A major motivation keeping her in the SouthCoast is the region’s incredible ability to collaborate.
“My passion for contemporary craft has influenced my curiosity of how we experience art & design. I pursue this question in DATMA’s approach to exhibitions- making our projects accessible to all and part of the every day.”
