StartUp Weekend - Maker Edition
- Location: CIE: Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship
, 151 Martine Street, Fall River, MA
- Cost: $29.99 for students; $49.99 for non-students;
- Contact: CIE: Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship
- Description: Ever feel the urge to build something cool? Come join us and build your prototype and business plan in 54 hours.
On April 22th - 24th, Startup Weekend - Maker Edition will be hosted for the first time ever at the UMass Dartmouth Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (151 Martine St, Fall River, MA 02723)
Startup Weekend is an event bringing together entrepreneurs, designers, developers and startup enthusiasts to participate in 54 hours of taking innovative business ideas from concept to launch. On Friday night, attendees will take the open mic to pitch their ideas in 60 seconds or less. After teams are formed via a popular vote, the rest of the weekend will be spent refining the ideas, with the help of mentors and seasoned startup entrepreneurs.
By Sunday, teams will be ready to present their ideas in front of a panel of judges who will award prizes, including co-working space or mentorship programs, all of which are designed to help teams build their startups after the weekend.
With the theme of Maker Edition, we hope participants will focus on building physical products, or at least provide a business solution with a combination of software and hardware. For those that already participated in previous Startup Weekend events, this event can still be an exciting challenge.
The most diverse teams are usually the best teams, so there will always be a team for your major. Don't already have an idea before coming to the event? No worries, you can still learn a ton when you contribute your skills to a team.
This event is proudly sponsored by Charlton College of Business, Optimal Partners & Business Innovation Research Center.

Women Artists: Transforming the Community (Providence to Provincetown 1880-1940)
- Location: University Art Gallery
- Cost: Free Admission
- Contact: University Art Gallery
- Description: Women Artists: Transforming the Community (Providence to Provincetown 1880-1940)
Date: April 12-April 30, 2016
Location: CVPA Campus Gallery, UMass Dartmouth
Gallery hours: Monday-Saturday 10 p.m. - 4 p.m.
Opening Reception: Wednesday, April 20 from 5 pm to 7 pm with the Gallery Talk at 5 pm
We might think that Linda Nochlin's famous 1988 question--Why have there been no great women artists?--is no longer applicable today. Thousands and thousands of girl students attended art academies right after the Civil War to meet growing industrial and cultural demand for illustrators, engravers, printmakers, miniaturists and portrait painters, but only Mary Cassatt and Georgia O'Keefe are part of the art historical canon.
Modernist critics and historians have often dismissed women's representational art because they privilege formalist invention over pictorial illusionism. Because of their focus on the individual fine artist, artistic style and elite patronage, such critics and historians have often ignored the importance of commercial illustration, printmaking, and traditional craft.
UMass Dartmouth's Art History Department and its upperclassmen address this premise in its exhibition, "Women Artists: Transforming the Community (Providence to Provincetown 1880 - 1940)," which runs from April 12 to April 30.
The exhibition is a collaborative project whereby students work in teams and apply their academic and professional knowledge to a real world experience.
This is the 5th year that art history professors Dr. Anna Dempsey and Allison J. Cywin have directed a group of upperclassmen to execute a professional museum-quality exhibition and publication.
This student-run exhibition explores the definition of modernity and focuses on feminine artistic communities that extend from Providence to Provincetown. The women artists represented in the exhibition are Blanche Lazzell, Lucy L'Engle, Agnes Weinrich, Ethel Mars, Maud Squire, Grace Albee, Eliza D. Gardiner, Jessie Willcox Smith, Frances Gifford, Sarah Eddy, Sarah Wyman Whitman, Mabel Woodward, Alice Barbara Stephens, Blanche Ames Ames and Allen Sisters, among others.
This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of the arts community, including Julie Heller Gallery of Provincetown, Bert Gallery of Providence, Portsmouth Free Public Library, Smith College's Sophia Smith Archive, University of Massachusetts Amherst Archive and Special Collection, Providence Art Club, Providence Athenaeum, New Bedford Whaling Museum, and private collectors.
The exhibition, free and open to the public, is held at the College of Visual & Performing Arts, Campus Art Gallery, 285 Old Westport Road (adjacent to parking lot 9) in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
The opening reception is Wednesday, April 20 from 5 pm to 7 pm with the Gallery Talk at 5 pm.
