New Bedford’s MBTA rail station features this amazing colorful glass art. Meet the artist.

NEW BEDFORD — With the South Coast Rail commuter service ready to begin on March 24, one of the most recently completed projects is the unique glass art installation located at the New Bedford station.

The tower is part of the elevator that connects the MBTA’s new pedestrian bridge to the Whale’s Tooth parking lot.

Tracy Silva Barbosa, the artistic force behind Duende Studio, set out to create a confluence of art, architecture and nature that travelers can be surrounded by when getting on and off the train.
