Counterpoints: Colors, Layers, Lines
- Location: Star Store, New Bedford
, Purchase Street, New Bedford
- Cost: Free admission
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: The Exhibition "Counterpoints: Colors, Layers, Lines" at UMass Dartmouth University Art Gallery in New Bedford presents three very different, yet highly compatible women artists. While each of them uses strong, intense colors and the layering of various elements and lines, each artist's work is best described by one of the three words in the exhibition title. However, the almost psychedelic interpretation of colors in Friese's landscapes, the inclusion of photography or other unusual materials in Mandle's critical narratives and the underlying geometry and references to female imagery in Thorton's flowers all share an affinity towards abstraction while inspiring visitors to look closer to discover their inner logic.

A Journey Through the Thread / Viaje Al Hilo
- Location: Star Store, New Bedford
, Purchase Street, New Bedford
- Cost: Free admission
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: An exhibition of contemporary designed handmade Mexican rugs
Traveling exhibition presented in collaboration with the Consulate General of Mexico in Boston.
Viaje Al Hilo is a traveling exhibition, presented in collaboration with the Consulate General of Mexico in Boston, at UMass Dartmouth Star Store Campus (Crapo Gallery & Lecture Hall).
Designed by young Mexican textile designer Marisol Centeno for her Bi Yuu brand, these rugs tell many stories, weaving together the traditional and the contemporary, expressing the inspiration and emotion through a careful combination of color, texture and form.
Bi Yuu works with extraordinary artisans from Teotitlan del Valle, designing and implementing a collaborative working method. Additionally, the company contributes to the artisan's local economy, utilizing local working methods and raw material from the area with the long and proud Oaxacan textile.
Marisol Centeno (Mexico City, 1985) studied textile design at the Universidad Iberoamericana. Her work blends artisan craft and principles of contemporary design. In 2012, she founded Bi Yuu, a brand specializing in rugs and woven goods with a strong ethic of social responsibility and an aesthetic vision that combines quality with cutting edge design. Currently, Bi Yuu offers six collections and collaborates with 20 artisans.
Marisol participated in the Social Design Roundtable as well as the Second Conference of Collaborative Design Practices, organized by Ana Elena Mallet at CaSa in Oaxaca. She has exhibited widely at venues including: Zona Maco Contemporary Art Fair, the Rufino Tamayo Museum, CENART, and the Franz Mayer Museum in Mexico City. In 2013, she was recognized as the "Best Designer" in the "Hand Made" category by the magazine CASAVIVA. Her work has been published in Folio, Wallpaper, Elle Decor, Architectural Digest and Código. She is a current member of Comex's new Trend Forecast ColorLife 16.

Formidable: Site Specific Installation by Kat Knutsen
- Location: Star Store, New Bedford
, Purchase Street, New Bedford
- Cost: Free admission.
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: College of Visual & Performing Arts (CVPA) presents a new site-specific installation by recent MFA graduate Kat Knutsen, entitled "Formidable" through November 12, 2015.
After receiving her MFA in painting at UMass Dartmouth in 2014, Kat Knutsen (born 1984) began an artist residency at CVPA's Star Store Campus focusing on combining fiber arts and painting in her animations. Her work has since evolved towards installations that combine fiber art, painting, sculpture and music.
As she says, "I keep an open mind with the materials I work with and explore the relationships between them. At the moment, my work is a conversation between the two-dimensional, three-dimensional and sound. 'Formidable' is a culmination of my experiences since I arrived in New Bedford in 2012. For me, the object of the jellyfish symbolizes the need to quickly adapt in the changing art world. The challenge of creating a dialogue between the textile objects, painting and music in this site-specific installation parallels my journey in building a career as a young artist today."
