I love when a city Embraces art

I love when a city Embraces art

When I moved here to New Bedford, I did not think I would be seeing much art around the city as I had in NYC, but I have been pleasantly surprised to find a few groups that support art being on display around the city, one being this display I just found sponsored by DATMA

it was a foggy morning and I had decided to head to the port for a stroll and as I was heading there I saw this display on the side of the road by the port

So I walked there first to check them out and will show you them all in this post ( well sort of but I will get to that later)

But first let me tell you about DATMA

DATMA is committed to bringing world-renowned art, design, and technology exhibitions, programs, and initiatives to the sidewalks and streets of SouthCoast, Massachusetts.
Identified as one of the Commonwealth’s most creative economies by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, DATMA has a headquarters in New Bedford where it has worked with talented artists and organizations on collaborative projects that leave you inspired and energized.

The first one I will share is this piece Community Tides by Silvia Lopez Chavez, which is highlighted here but the art piece is on Popes Island and I will share that in post three of this series

Next up a couple of pieces by Rhonda Fazio which I believe are just on display here
in fact all this display is called open Studio on the sidewalk

A shame the piece on the left has been damaged

What a wonderful surprise to find on your way to the port.

I love outdoor art. I'm sure there is more of it around her than I have seen now since I haven't been out and about as much. It seems the small towns here have embraced their local art communities here in the south too and it's fun to see what they sometimes bring in from the outside too.

There has been a resurgence of art support in our small community too. I think the lockdown has the effect of amplifying the ability to produce art and our appreciation of it when not much was going on. We have 2 new galleries on our block and are setting up our https://towncriermarketing.ca office like a gallery to sell local art commission free.

I love the displays they have there and the varying styles and pieces to enjoy while on a walk.

I love looking at art of various types too especially murals. These art pieces are certainly remarkable. :) we don't have these type of art display here, so is great to be able to see them here at your post.
