  • Offset Payroll & Income Tax Using The R&D Tax Credit
  • Location: CIE: Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship , 151 Martine Street, Fall River, MA
  • Cost: FREE for UMD Students, Staffs, and Faculty
  • Contact: CIE: Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship
  • Description: Join Ed Craig (President) and Adam Mathes (Vice President) of EF Cost Recovery for an overview of how companies can claim the R&D Tax Credit without ANY heavy lifting. The R&D tax credit is valuable to small, midsize, and early-stage businesses to offset personal and/or company income tax. Many taxpayers regard R&D as an activity associated solely with hi-tech businesses, such as pharmaceutical and biotech companies. That is simply not the case. You do not have to be engaged in pure science or similar research to be conducting qualified activities as defined by the Internal Revenue Code. Companies in the following industries qualify for this lucrative tax credit: Architecture, Aerospace, Agriculture, Automotive, Biotech, Chemical, Electronics, Engineering, Food Science, Food Processing, Forestry, Manufacturing, Hardware, Pharmaceuticals, Semiconductor, Machine Shops, Job Shops, Software, Telecom, Beer/Wine Making and more.

Their typical client receives an average R&D Tax Credit of approximately $60,000 per $1Million of payroll. For more information, contact Trai Dang at tdang@umassd.edu

  • Mouthfeel - Video Exhibition
  • Location: > See description for location
  • Cost: free
  • Contact: > See Description for contact information
  • Description: Mouthfeel Feb 15 - March 9, 2018 Five video artworks exploring the sense of taste and touch curated by Megan Fizell, Sydney, Australia. Mouthfeel is defined as the physical sensations in the mouth created by food or drink. The objective of this exhibition is to stimulate a synaesthetic response in the viewer through the observation of these films. The mouth is used by these artists to trigger the sense of taste and touch by the ingestion of edible and non-edible substances. The videos feature a variety of actions, from the monotonous task of licking through a pane of cast sugar, to ingesting a bouquet of roses. The five films selected for this exhibition by curator Megan Fizell include performative actions by four female artists and one male/female collaborative work: Elizabeth Willing, Hannah Raisin, Martynka Wawzyniak, Nina Ross, and Hillerbrand+Magsamen. Mouthfeel has previously been viewed at Brenda May Gallery in Sydney, Creative Industries Precinct at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, and Northern Centre for Contemporary Art in Darwin (all in Australia).

  • Diane Samuels: The Whale and Other Texts
  • Location: University Art Gallery
  • Cost: free
  • Contact: University Art Gallery
  • Description: Diane Samuels: The Whale and Other Texts Feb 7 - March 15, 2018 RECEPTION: Thursday, March 8, 6:00 - 9:00 pm; Artist Talk 7:30 pm Exhibition at UMass Dartmouth University Art Gallery in Downtown New Bedford, "Diane Samuels: The Whale and Other Texts" is centered around the 8' wide by 47' long artwork Moby-Dick, or The Whale. This mesmerizing large scale piece appears to be floating on the gallery floor and spilling off the wall, reflecting on the ocean nearby, the location for the Melville's famous novel. Pittsburgh based Diane Samuels who often uses text as a element in her visual vocabulary this time creates waves with her meticulous hand-transcriptions created using all of the 701 pages in the novel. Remnants of archival paper and drawings have been recycled and painted over and, in places, drawn and collaged using images that pertain to the specific text. Each page of the book (also exhibited at the gallery) is hand-written as a horizontal row of the drawing, starting with "Call me Ishmael" at the top of the artwork. Samuels chose Moby-Dick, or The Whale because of Melville's descriptions of confrontations with "the other" and his archiving and cataloguing of information about whales and the world. In Chapter Three, Ishmael and Queequeg share a room and a bed at the Spouter-Inn. Ishmael describes his terror in meeting Queequeg. Despite cultural, racial, and language differences, the chapter ends with Ishmael's statement, "I turned in, and never slept better in my life." Accompanying this installation is the compressed sound of the artist reading out loud and hand-transcribing each page, creating a layered "audio block"; a dense sound comprised of words and pages, along with the ambient sounds of the artist's studio. The audio block is the length of the longest page of the book. Other artworks also surprise visitors with their intricate hand-transcription in microscript. The Arabian Nights traces the stories told by Scheherazade over 10,000 fragments of papers painted in shades of indigo and crimson and edged in gold. The piece is a literal and figurative "magic carpet" whose central panel is bathed in the blood of the book's unfortunate heroines and cloaked in the mysterious glow of night. Salman Rushdie's "Midnight's Children," also visually reflects the content of the book, creating a unique composition made from 1001 pieces of paper made in India and joined to form a map of India on August 15, 1947, its date of independence. The "midnight's children" of the book's title are the 1001 children born in the first hour of Indian independence. The exhibition is open through March 15, 2018, with the reception on Thursday, March 8, 6:00 - 9:00 pm. The artist talk, as well as audio recording will begin at 7:30 pm. The Whale and Other Text was curated by Viera Levitt, UMass Dartmouth Gallery Director, born in Slovakia, where she had assisted Diane in her 1998 sound based site-specific installation for the Synagogue - Centre for Contemporary Art in Trnava. Thanks to Kris Nuzzi and the Pavel Zoubok Gallery for their wonderful collaboration on this exhibition. University Art Gallery, UMass Dartmouth 715 Purchase St., New Bedford, MA 02740 www.facebook.com/UMassDartmouthGalleries gallery@umassd.edu Curated by Viera Levitt, UMass Dartmouth Gallery Director Open daily from 9 am to 6 pm

  • Ground Truth Lecture: The Search for Honest Reporting in the Era of Fake News
  • Location: > See description for location
  • Cost: free
  • Contact: UMass Law
  • Description: Charles M. Sennott, Founder & Executive Director of the Ground Truth Project will be presenting a lecture Thursday, February 15 from 6:00-7:30 pm in the Francis J. Larkin Moot Courtroom at the UMass Dartmouth Law School, 333 Faunce Corner Rd, No. Dartmouth. The GroundTruth Project is an award-winning nonprofit media organization dedicated to supporting a new generation of journalists and to adding increased knowledge and understanding on critical global issues through enterprise journalism. GroundTruth is committed to narrative storytelling that enlightens and informs across media platforms, including digital, radio/podcast, television and documentary film. Their reporting centers on issues of social justice that matter for an increasingly interconnected world, including human rights, freedom of expression, emerging democracies, the environment, religious affairs and global health. Sennott, a veteran journalist with a storied career as a foreign correspondent, will speak about attacks on the media and what can be done to strengthen legitimate journalism. “There are problems across the information landscape, including fake news manufactured in the dark corners of the web and in the corridors of power, he says. Opposite ends of the political spectrum retreat to cable news and social media networks that reinforce existing views. GroundTruth supports enterprise and investigative reporting from all corners of the globe, including underreported areas of the United States. The mission of Groundtruth is to shatter preconceived ideas and get to the heart of an issue through factual, objective and immersive reporting that enlightens and informs across all media platforms.
