The
Staircase
Galleries at Government Center are part of an initiative by Mass
In Motion-Fall River to encourage physical activity among employees and visitors
to Government Center. Partnering with the Greater
Fall River Art Association an exhibit was opened on March 14, 2014 to display
the posters of Drew
Furtado, the painting of Richard Pais and David
Medeiros and the vision plans of Al Lima. The event was held in
collaboration with the Fall River Art Association's "Art for
Kids" exhibit and silent auction to benefit art programs for Fall
River's Children. Mass in Motion also recognized the contributions of
Robert Geleney, Durfee High School art teacher, who was instrumental in
the creation of the gallery and who is retiring this June. Mayor William
Flanagan was on hand to view the exhibit with artists Furtado, Medeiros and
Pais.
Mr. Lima was unable to attend due to illness. The goal of the state-wide Mass
in Motion initiative is to create a healthier community through
changes in policy, systems and environments. Click here
