The Arthur Moniz Gallery has been a fixture in New Bedford’s national park almost as long as the park’s been around.
The building, across from the Whaling Museum, is the color of mustard, with hinged, dark green shutters.
In the front windows, the subjects that made a name for Moniz are the same ones that made New Bedford: whaling and fishing vessels, historical architecture, and local landscapes.
Moniz died in 2018. His art lives on, but the gallery his family ran for two decades closed last month.
Leaders and stakeholders of New Bedford’s arts and culture, tourism, hospitality, and business community are asking City Council to vote to accept the ARPA funds.
