Call for Sounds
-
The New Bedford Art Museum invites New Bedford residents to submit short recordings of the sounds that make up New Bedford’s unique “soundscape.” What are the sounds that make New Bedford familiar—like home? What sounds anchor you in place? What sounds would you miss if they suddenly went silent? We want to hear what you hear! NBAM will incorporate a selection of these sounds into an exhibition planned for April 2023, as well as an interactive online map—scheduled to launch at the same time.
MUSEUM EXPANSION PROJECT
In partnership with the Mayor’s Office, the Board of the New Bedford Art Museum/Artworks! is undertaking a multi-year project to renovate the Anthony S. Catojo Jr. Building to double gallery space, enhance security, and install environmental controls to meet museum-quality standards.
