FREE MURAL RECEPTION

Saturday, November 14, 2026 | 6:00–8:00 PM

New Bedford Arts and Cultural Emporium, Studio 260, second floor Kilburn Mill, 101 W. Rodney French Boulevard, New Bedford, MA

Celebrate the new murals and the winners of the 2026 Indoor Mural Slam Competition: Lucas Pavao and Amanda Moore!

Join us for live music by Phil Zukas, light refreshments, and a chance to meet the artists, host, judges, and past muralists.

Made possible through a generous grant from the Mass Cultural Council, a matching grant from Kilburn Mill owners Jim and Jacinta Murray, and the efforts of the New Bedford Arts and Cultural Emporium.

DIRECTIONS Enter through the main entrance. Facing the elevator, the first-floor mural is directly on your right. Take the elevator to the second floor, turn left, and find the second mural around the first corner on your left. For the reception at Studio 260, turn right off the elevator, keeping the octopus mural on your right. Continue down the hall and follow the yellow signs through two more halls to NBACE Studio 260.
