What is a Pop Up Studio? A Pop Up Studio is a temporary place for people to jump-start their thinking and create together.
New Bedford Art Museum/ArtWorks! visitors are invited to interact with art exhibitions through our in-gallery Pop Up Studios. Here visitors can get creative with imaginative make-and-take activities that further explore our exhibitions. Visitors are invited to move through each experience and allow the artwork to highlight their understanding and engagement with the artists and their work.

This exhibition includes interviews from LIGHT 2020 and Summer Winds 2019 artists, such as Soo Sunny Park, MASARY Studios, and Poetic Kinetics. Guests can take home a complimentary all-ages DIY project inspired by Soo Sunny Park’s Photo Kinetic Grid, which includes materials and guidance on how to make your own light artwork to exhibit at home.
