'He made people open their eyes': Arthur Moniz Gallery, showcase for scenic beauty of the South Coast, closes in New Bedford
The Arthur Moniz Gallery has been a fixture in New Bedford’s national park almost as long as the park’s been around. The building, across from the Whaling Museum, is the color of mustard, with hinged, dark green shutters. In the front windows, the subjects that made a name for Moniz are the same ones that made New Bedford: whaling and fishing vessels, historical architecture, and local landscapes. Moniz died in 2018. His art lives on, but the gallery his family ran for two decades closed last month.
