The Scallop caught up with Catie Curtis outside the Zeiterion Theatre after her afternoon show on the first day of the New Bedford Folk Festival .

"After making music full time for over two decades, Catie Curtis, who has appeared on the New Bedford Folk Festival stage many times, is retiring from making a living on the road. She plans to stay close to family and friends, become a full time clinical therapist, and only play locally," writes MJ Herrup

"Stand at the end of Union Street on a sunny afternoon, look across toward the pier, and you may catch a familiar rainbow reflection. 'It is made with CDs and DVDs,' said Erin Meade, creator of 'Mirrored Iridescence,' an installation part of this year’s Seaport Art Walk in Downtown New Bedford."

"Since 2018, the Seaport Art Walk has let artists propose outdoor public works of art to be displayed along the city’s working waterfront with themes like 'Lighting the Way: Historic Women of the South Coast' in 2020; 'Whirlwind of Art,' in 2019; and 'Freedom & Equality: the Bicentennial of Frederick Douglass' in 2018.

Seaport Art Walk - Tour with Artists & Curator begins tomorrow (Thursday 7/14) at 5pm! Come join us!

Our goal: find out what’s on people’s minds and what they’re doing out on the town in New Bedford.

“To see the kids is so awesome, because nothing like this existed when I was growing up,” said Mandy Fraser, co-founder of the Q***r Arts Council of New Bedford . “It’s amazing, it’s special, and it’s so great to have so much support and that people see this as a great community event.”

This year's Pride events, hosted by the The South Coast LGBTQ Network return bigger and better than ever writes Meagan Lincoln.
