The Uncommon Object - University Art Gallery, New Bedford
- Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: For this group exhibition, ten alumni from the renown UMass Dartmouth Ceramics program invited artists who have been influential in a manner contrary to their aesthetic, finding pairings revealing an unusual logic; a connection in uncommon objects. "The Uncommon Object" was conceived by Rebecca Hutchinson and Jim Lawton with the notion that our counterpoint is not only interesting but offers insight into the depth of who we are as artists.
The exhibition is part of the programming for the 49th annual National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) conference in Providence, RI which has earned a reputation worldwide as a premier event for ceramic art, drawing thousands of participants each year.
Exhibiting Artists:
David Bogus, BFA 1999 & Gail Kendall
Josephine Burr, MFA 2002 & Hannah Burr
Angela Cunningham, PBC 2002 & Daniel Molyneux
Stephen Grimmer, MFA 1996 & Ron Meyers
Martha Grover, MFA 2007; PBC 2004 & Giselle Hicks

, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Contact: > See Description for contact information
- Description: Weekly meeting for faculty and staff who are interested in learning about and practicing mindfulness meditation.

This technique has been shown to increase cortical density in areas of the brain associated with cognitive and attentional control and emotional regulation. Practice with mindfulness meditation has been found to reduce anxiety and stress, increase attentional abilities and supplement socio-emotional functioning. No experience is required, and drop-ins are more than welcome.
This event is to repeat weekly for the Spring 2015 semester, excluding Feb. 17th and March 17th.

Together: Junior Artists of the Department of Visual Design
- Location: CVPA: College of Visual and Performing Arts
, 285 Old Westport Road, Dartmouth, MA
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts presents
Together: Junior Artists of the Department of Visual Design
Featuring recent student work from Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography
Exhibition Dates: 3/2- 4/1
Reception: Tuesday, March 3rd, 4 pm to 6 pm
Artist Talk at 5 pm during the reception, titled Re.Membered: The Art of Collaboration
The UMass Dartmouth College of Visual and Performing Arts is pleased to present the third annual Together: Junior Artists of the Department of Visual Design on display from March 2 through April 1, 2015.
The opening reception will be held on Tuesday, March 3, 4 to 6 pm, with the Artist Talk, presented by students of both Design and Art History at 5 pm. This exhibition features recent work from students in Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography, along with a slide show of these same young artists engaged in activities and processes relative to their CVPA experience.
The Department of Visual Design is a cluster of professionally-oriented options: Digital Media, Graphic Design, Illustration, and Photography. Visual design is an art form, a craft, and a means of information dissemination for education, business, commerce, editorial and entertainment industries. Students earning their BFA in one of these four areas explore visual communication in the widest sense, employing both traditional (analog) and contemporary electronic and computer technologies.
The examples in this exhibition demonstrate that our broadly educated student visual artists/designers are both literate and articulate and capable of participating on many levels of a wide variety of projects. Bringing together both print and digital media, this exhibition provides insight into how Junior students use visual design as a method of communication.

Workshop: Voice Projection Techniques for Teaching
- Location: Claire T. Carney Library, Room 426
- Contact: Office of Faculty Development
- Description: Voice Projection Techniques for Teaching (Tian Zhou, Music)
Have you ever observed an instructor straining his or her voice to deliver a lecture to listeners in the back row of a large lecture hall? Have you heard teachers continually raising their voices to speak over small group discussions in their classes? Understanding basic voice and projection techniques is essential for delivering information to students as well as protecting your vocal health. Dr. Zhou, UMD choral director and former baritone with the Washington Opera will provide instruction in breathing and vocal delivery techniques that will assist faculty members with filling the space of the most cavernous classroom while preserving one’s vocal chords.
Lunch will be served; if you wish to attend, please register through the Events calendar on UMD website.

Computational Science Seminar
- Location: Textiles Building 105
- Contact: Center for Scientific Computing and Visualization Research
- Description: The Center for Scientific Computing and Visualization Research announces the following seminar.
Speaker: Zhongqiang Zhang (Worcester Polytechnic Institute)
Title: "Optimal error estimate of spectral Galerkin and collocation methods for fractional differential equations"
Time: Tuesday, March 10, 2015, 3:30pm-4:30pm
Location: Textiles 105
Abstract: We present optimal error estimates for spectral Galerkin methods and spectral collocation methods for linear fractional differential equations with initial value or boundary values on a finite interval. The key feature of the error estimates is that the estimate can accommodate the end-point singularity of the solutions to these equations. We also develop Laguerre spectral Petrov-Galerkin methods and collocation methods for fractional equations on the half line. Numerical results confirm the error estimates.
