Scott Carola is a lifelong resident of New Bedford.

He is a former corrections officer of the old Ash St. Jail, and current Detective Lieutenant of the New Bedford Police Department.
“The Story Thus Far” is a show about just that; a retrospective of the last 5 years with original works he refuses to part with and prints of fan favorites that earned him the following he has today. Come check out what Carola has been up to, as we prepare to send him off into hyperspace with what comes next. 169 William St, New Bedford.
