  • Creative Catalysts Exhibition: Call for Art

    Groundwork New Bedford 1213 Purchase Street, New Bedford, MA

Our theme this year – the lens of literature – asks artist pairs to choose a work of literature and shape work resulting from its inherent questions and search for answers. The exhibition will take place at GroundWork Gallery Saturday, October 3rd - Sunday, November 29. Creative Catalysts presents how viewpoints and creative work transform when connected to a wide pool of inspiration. How does your work change through collaboration? Is that change obvious to others? How will you reflect on the experience when it is over? Each artist contributes their own work to the exhibit, displayed visually in a shared space with the partner’s work. Prior to creating the individual works, the partner pair chooses a piece of literature – of any genre – to reference as source, inspiration, or framework. Then chat and meet with your partner over the course of the summer and early fall to brainstorm and share creative process ideas. Inspire […]

    Monthly Artists Share!
    Gallery X 169 William Street, New Bedford, MA

    Get feedback on your work and meet local creatives at this Monthly Artists Share! group, facilitated by Midori Creativity. Artists Share! is a place to share your creative work, get support and feedback, and be part of a wonderful discussion. Hosted by Midori Creativity, we're all about cross-pollination welcoming painters, jewelry makers, fiber artists, photographers, musicians, scultptors and more. Our exhibit, Creative Catalysts, celebrates the interplay and creative exploration that happens when artists of different genres work together. Anyone is welcome and we take turns sharing. Sometimes we are looking at a body of work and other times we are talking about creative identity. The group meets every month, aiming to help each other progress and grow in our work by sharing and exploring together. It's a chance to learn from people whose work may be different from your own but who have insights you could never imagine. We laugh, share ideas, and have fun! Participants can also attend via Zoom. Learn more about the program at midoricreativity.com/artistsshare This program is supported in part by a grant from the New Bedford Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
