Program Overview

New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park Art Exhibit

Exhibit: August 1 - September 30, 2017

Art Due: Tuesday June 20, 2017 (postmarked by the end of the day)

Theme: "Strength in Diversity in Your Town"

New Bedford's diversity is legacy of 'Whaling History' and a belief in 'Progressive Values'. The question is how will that diversity alter the future of the city from this point on? Will New Bedford's diversity strengthen our future or divide the city?

Note: Your art just needs to reflect this theme is some way, literally or in broad brushstrokes. Perhaps you reference to the town that you live in.
