NEW BEDFORD – Art will be overwhelming the SouthCoast starting May 7. A ten-day artistic adventure, connecting communities from Fall River to Wareham, will be a reminder that art is still thriving amid the pandemic and maybe ignite future artists.
“I hope we can inspire people to experiment with their creativity,” said Jodi Stevens, executive director of the Marion Art Center. Stevens teamed with Anthi Frangiadi, owner of The Drawing Room and Lee Heald, the director of AHA! New Bedford, to create this inspiring artistic tour.
“I hope that people will realize that there are still ways to enjoy the art, even during what we re experiencing now,” Stevens said.
