“DATMA produces dynamic programs that project what the SouthCoast is and has been—and what it can become.”

A longtime New Bedford based artist, Miś has been Director of DATMA since 2018 and launched it’s inaugural program season entitled, Summer Winds. One motive that keeps her in the SouthCoast is the region’s incredible ability to collaborate.
