Artworks! Community Art Center

Your Community Arts Center

ArtWorks! is a truly unique venue. We not only strive to meet the needs of the immediate community through educational partnerships and community-accessibility, but we also host a number of ever-changing artists, distinguished speakers, and highly-motivated educators in hopes that you will get as excited about art as we do. We are YOUR community arts center. Come learn, create, and grow with us!

Our Purpose

ArtWorks! Partners for the Arts and Community, Inc. is a vital community arts center serving the residents and artists of Southeastern Massachusetts. Our goal is to create an accessible environment which promotes participation in the arts through exhibitions and education. ArtWorks! strives to collaborate with diverse cultural groups to spark community engagement.

Our Space

Located in an historic 130 year old building in downtown New Bedford, our four floors are filled with galleries, classrooms, a ceramic studio, teen arts center, and an audio-visual computer lab.

Installation View Roger Kizik Exhibit Exhibitions change every six to eight weeks, and are open free of charge to the public daily, Tuesday through Saturday. Throughout the year, arts education classes, artist talks, special events and workshops are planned to compliment and expand our exhibits. ArtWorks! is a special place to experience the creative process, meet working artists and make or buy a work of art of your own!
