This is the April AHA! episode - our ninth - in our continuing series of livestream podcasts from Play Arcade co-hosted by our podcast partner and friend Adam Katz. We opted for an open mic evening this month and our guests were Sarah Mulvey Ferreira, The Artists Index Podcast host Scott Bishop, Denn Santoro, and Max Wickemeyer.
We covered a bunch of topics last Thursday, April 10th (from 6 to 7:30 pm.) Our guests joined podcast host Ron Fortier to relate and swap stories as working artists about this wonderful world-famous, historic New England seaport, and the experience of being a part of one of the largest creative communities in Massachusetts.
It all happened at in the Living Room at Play Arcade "an old-school 80’s style arcade offering a full-service bar, craft-made drinks, and food..." and over 40 vintage arcade games and a rooftop deck overlooking the working waterfront in the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park.
AHA! (Arts, History, Architecture) has presented New Bedford and the South Coast with free arts and culture nights. It celebrated its 25th anniversary this September! AHA! Nights are held every second Thursday of the month to recall and honor the nostalgic late shopping night offered in New Bedford from the 1940s through the 1960s. This revival has brought a new and lasting vibrancy to downtown.
If you would like to be a guest on The Artists Index or have a suggestion, please let us know! The Artists Index records our podcasts at our Spectrum Marketing Group studio. We also use Zoom to accommodate our guests’ schedules or for those who no longer live on the South Coast of Massachusetts.
The Artists Index provides our listeners and readers with up close and personal conversations with artists, supporters of the arts, and the cultural impresarios of the South Coast's remarkable creative community.
