We Love The Seagull Cinderella

We Love The Seagull Cinderella This Fan Page is in Love and Support of The Seagull Cinderella by Donna Dodson! She is a beautiful work of Art, and makes New Bedford Awesome! Yup, that's right.

This Page is in support of The Seagull Cinderella, a Sculpture by Donna Dodson. The work of Art is under scrutany by a group of New Bedford Citizens who do not appreciate her being on display on Route 18 until October, and they have begun a petition to call for her removal. It is disappointing to see that there are quite a few people in New Bedford who would like to see the removal of The Seagull Cinderella by Donna Dodson. There is reasoning behind their feelings about the sculpture, yes, but it is not offensive in the least, it is a joyful, proud, stoic & beautiful work of art. What upsets me is that a petition would be started to remove art, being that it was art that has brought New Bedford back to life in the last fifteen years. Before this current thriving downtown art scene, there was very little action around here... The New Wave Cafe(RIP), a monthly Gallery X show, maybe something at The Z, and very little else. Then a few skaters with some guts opened up Solstice and No Problemo, then Pour Farm and Green Bean came to life. UMASS took a chance and opened The Star Store. Then the biggest boom to the local arts, A-HA Night began. Month after month for a dozen years, through all weather, downtown has been rocking the streets with Art, Music and Culture. This fire, fifteen years of hard work and dedication from Artists of all circles, is what has rejuvenated this City. New Bedford is now considered one of the best places in the Country for a thriving Artist to live. We went from Muttonville to The Tops. This is because of People who believed in The Arts. It reflects in the entire City. People are happier then they were fifteen years ago. We aren't as beaten down. We have more pride in this town. I'm disappointed in those who live here, and who have seen their City become just a bit more classy with some visual pizzazz, that they would unite to call for the removal of a work of Art, the very thing that put NB back on the map. Save Art, New Bedford!-Sonic Nova

Jenny Newman-Arruda and Arianna Swink are the owners of TL6 the Gallery located in downtown New Bedford. Known for showcasing local talent, they are dedicated to using their presence for good and recently teamed up with local artists to give back to the community.

The group decided to make stickers of the well-known Seagull Cinderella sculpture, created by Donna Dodson, to sell at their upcoming TL6 fundraiser, donating 100% of the proceeds to the Nicole Podkowa Patient and Caregiver Fund.

The Nicole Podkowa Patient and Caregiver Fund provides a much-needed resource for Southcoast Health cancer patients in need of financial assistance. Money from the fund goes directly to patients in treatment, helping cover the cost of necessities, such as transportation and groceries, while they are undergoing treatment.

“We’re all somehow connected to cancer,” says local artist, Jess Bregoli, reflecting on how the disease impacts so many lives. “It was important to us that the money raised would directly go to cancer patients.”

“We also wanted to keep it local. This wasn’t just about raising money; it was about the community.” added Jenny. “That was very important to us.”

Originally hosting their first fundraiser in 2016, the group decided to keep this tradition going selling the stickers at the gallery and online. Together they raised an amazing $1,200!

We are grateful to TL6 The Gallery and supportive local artists for their great contribution to the fund. The sticker fundraiser shows a collective effort of a community coming together.

If you’d like more information about the Nicole Podkowa Patient and Caregiver Fund and to join us at our upcoming Annual Nicole Podkowa Walk & Run taking place Sunday, October 6 please visit, www.southcoast.org/nicole-podkowa-5k-run-walk/

Welcome, Donna Dodson, a sculptor and a Resident Scholar at the Women’s Studies Research Center at Brandeis University. But wait, there's more!

By the way, she currently (as of the date of this post) has a new show at the Boston Sculptors Gallery - DONNA DODSON: SHEROES. Donna has exhibited her work, received favorable reviews, and won grants locally, nationally, and internationally. Her work is in numerous private and public collections locally, nationally, and internationally.

Her well-known “Seagull Cinderella” sculpture continues to attract international media attention. The Artists Index co-founder and host, Ron Fortier, talks to Donna Dodson about her background, passion for sculpture, and the chronicles of her infamous Seagull Cinderella sculpture!
