Friday - Wings Court New Bedford MA
Wings Court New Bedford MA
Today I will share a few photos taken recently in Wings Court here in New Bedford.
Often when I am out and about for my early walks and I walk by it, the gates are locked, but I was pleasantly surprised to see one gate open recently and popped inside.
First, a little bit about the area
Wing’s Court is a vibrant, arts-forward pocket park in downtown New Bedford that connects Union Street to Purchase Street and Custom House Square.A
The space sits on land once occupied by Wing's Department Store, which was destroyed by a major fire in 1974.
Hand-laid bricks, cobblestones, sustainable native gardens, and colorful street art now define the courtyard.
The alleyways feature dynamic rotating street art, heavily inspired by local events.
This first photo was taken while I was in Wings Court, looking ahead, you can see the other gate for the area, which was closed and locked.
As you can see it has seating in this area for a restaurant or maybe two

This is a new piece of art I had not seen before.
The design recreates the siren character from the visually stunning Jibaro episode created by director Alberto Mielgo. and the art was created by local street artist bbthegun508

This has been there a while and was a collaboration between two local artists: Ryan McFee (of @paradise_mcfee) and Todd Woodward (known as @woodzart).

This is another new piece, and I think it's awesome and so fitting for New Bedford, where commercial fishing is a big industry.
Now, I mentioned outside seating for one or two restaurants- well, one for sure, the Pour Farm Tavern- and this mural is on one of its walls
This striking monochromatic mural was painted by Ryan McFee (widely known by his studio name, @paradise_mcfee) in collaboration with fellow street artist J.Estee.
Thinking about it, I don't often see Monochromatic street art, so maybe that's also part of why this one grabbed my attention

And to finish off, standing by the locked gate in the first photo, looking back

I love those little areas like that. In the town where I grew up they shut a section of mainstreet down in the summer, so that cars can't run down it. Then they put tables out like this and make a huge common area for people to congregate. It's pretty cool.
Yeah I love tem as well they did similar in the city I grew up in Down under and it was such a nice area
Have a great day

Big fan of the brick pavers. I think it adds some pretty amazing texture to any area.
Ohh yes i love them as well
Wow what a great little courtyard/pedestrian street! love the art work. I bet it is a really vibrant space with the restaurants open and crowds of people.
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
