The Massachusetts Design Art and Technology Institute (DATMA) will launch this September. The institute is a 21st-century museum based in New Bedford, Massachusetts with a goal to present international exhibitions and programs showing the impact of new technologies in art and design, on educational, economic, and cultural life in the Southcoast Region and beyond. Exhibitions aim to highlight contemporary art, architecture, textile, and fashion design and industrial design. This new “non-collecting” museum will focus on public installations, exhibitions and “pop-ups” in New Bedford’s urban core of parks, public spaces and warehouses instead of hosting in traditional museum space.
