  <title>Podcast Episode 212: LARA HARRINGTON</title>
  <description>Welcome, Lara Lourenco Harrington, AKA Lara Harrington, a re-emerging artist and supporter of the arts in the South Coast. She is the daughter of immigrants from Terceira and Faial, &amp;quot;two of the most beautiful islands in the Azores.&amp;quot; Her journey to connect more deeply with her heritage took a significant turn in 2011 when she became involved with the Azorean Whaleboats in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Lara's involvement opened doors that allowed her to immerse herself deeply in the culture, &amp;quot;particularly through participating in international regattas with Pico Island and Faial.&amp;quot; Through these experiences, she has built amazing friendships and discovered incredible opportunities to share the Islands' beauty and charm from a local perspective. Her passion for the Açores (Azores in English) continues to grow as she brings the essence of these islands to those around her. &amp;quot;This journey of bridging a creative community between New Bedford and the Azores was inspired by my background in the arts and my commitment to cultural exchange.&amp;quot; Lara Harrington received her Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts from the Massachusetts College of Art in 2000. After building and leaving a successful business in fitness, she is excited about her new adventure, Hotel Papel, which includes an art residency program! Lara spoke&amp;amp;nbsp;with The Artists Index’s cofounder, documentarian, and podcast host,  Ron Fortier,&amp;amp;nbsp;recently. She spoke about her passion, heritage, life, and developing journey as a working musician. This episode was recorded at our recording studio at Spectrum Marketing Group at Howland Place in New Bedford. &amp;amp;nbsp; Lara Harrington New Bedford, MA 02744 508-965-8860 &amp;amp;nbsp; Email&amp;amp;nbsp;|&amp;amp;nbsp;Website&amp;amp;nbsp;|&amp;amp;nbsp;Facebook&amp;amp;nbsp;|&amp;amp;nbsp;Instagram&amp;amp;nbsp;| Linktree | Other &amp;amp;nbsp; Please consider donating whatever you can to ensure that our mission continues as we document the legacies of South Coast Artists.
