City of Light
Students from UMassD’s Artisanry Department draw on New Bedford’s historic roots as a ‘city of light’ in their installation presented at Chicago’s prestigious Sculpture Objects Functional Art + Design (SOFA) Fair last fall. The modular display of benches and lampposts is proposed to be a semi-permanent installation as part of New Bedford’s downtown revitalization.
