The New Bedford Art Museum/ArtWorks! ArtMobile and Local Artist Devin "Nived" McLaughlin will be on site to help you make a small boat out of recycled materials!

Afterwards you can race your boat against others in the Rain Gutter Regatta, organized by the Azorean Maritime Heritage Society and Community Boating Center.

The New Bedford Art Museum (NBMA) will host Clay-On-Wheels an offsite popup and FREE clay experience with NBAM Instructor and Owner of New Bedford Pottery Works, Stephanie Sherman. Stephanie will be teaching participants about the basics of wheel-throwing through live demonstrations. Youth and adults are welcome! Try your hand at using a pottery wheel and take home a free handbuilding artkit!

Funding for the Clay-on-Wheels program is provided by the Wicked Cool Places Grant of New Bedford Creative and presented in partnership with the Co-Creative Center and City of New Bedford Parks, Recreation, and Beaches.

This project received a Wicked Cool Places grant, facilitated by New Bedford Creative at the NBEDC, and funded by the City of New Bedford’s Arts, Culture and Tourism Fund, with additional support from Bristol County Savings Bank, Barr Foundation, Mass Cultural Council, and MassDevelopment’s TDI Creative Cities Initiative.
