Southeastern Massachusetts Educational Collaborative (SMEC) student artwork is on display through June 14 at the New Bedford Art Museum. The 5th annual SMEC exhibition, “Learning for Life,” features a mix of mediums, and was all produced in weekly art classes led by art educator Nicole Winning over the past year.

“The art project prompts vary and encompass explorations of line, color, form, gesture, abstraction and realism,” according to the introductory plaque that welcomes exhibit visitors.

“Developing a creative mind doesn’t begin and end on a piece of paper, or a sculpture,” Winning said. “A creative mind helps us imagine the infinite possibilities of our lives into being and supports us to be confident in our unique way of expressing and communicating. I try to support all of these components when supporting our students in Art class.”
