Bringing the Arts to the Streets [TOWNSQUARE SUNDAY]

Thanks to students and alumni of the UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts, Thursday nights have become special once again in Downtown New Bedford.

The college and its partners are offering free performances and exhibits every Thursday evening for the next ten weeks in the windows of the former Star Store building at Purchase and Union Streets.
