Custom designed kiosks, including documentary will be strategically positioned along outdoor public walkways in downtown New Bedford and along the waterfront and participate in the annual New Bedford Seaport Art Walk.
Wine is food; spray cheese is not. Butter’s good; margarine is just yellow gunk. Soil beats strip malls; food gardens are preferable to lawns; farmers, chefs, and artisans are our heroes.
