Welcome Lindsay Mis, artist and the director of DATMA, the Massachusetts Design Art & Technology Institute. DATMA presents contemporary art with the convergence of design, art, and technology through exhibitions, performances, and education and engagement for all ages and cultural backgrounds in the South Coast region and beyond.

It was established in 2016 and launched in 2018, DATMA was founded to enhance the evolving dynamic cultural and economic life of Southcoast Massachusetts. As an exhibitor of public art, DATMA collaborates with the business and education sectors of the region to expand public awareness, bringing new cultural assets into the mix.

Lindsay speaks with The Artists Index’s cofounder, documentarian, and podcast host, Ron Fortier, about DATMA and its purpose and journey. This episode was recorded at our home base and recording studio at Spectrum Marketing Group at Howland Place in New Bedford.
