Join us on Friday, October 18th, from 6 to 8 PM for an opening reception for scary new work by local artists, Mike Piso and Yogi H. A selection of photographs and drawings will be on display in the Boston area’s most intimate gallery setting. Light refreshments will be served at the opening.
Join us on Thursday, September 19th, from 7 to 9 PM for an opening reception for the photographs of local artist, Cathy Piantigini. This body of work examines front yard religious iconography in the Somerville area. Mary and Jesus statues are often combined with old bathtubs, half-buried in the ground, to create diminutive and personalized grottos. Piantigini’s work stylishly documents these little monuments, paying homage to their aesthetics while at the same time probing their peculiarities. Light refreshments will be served at the opening.
That’s right folks, you guessed it: it’s time again for the annual Broadway Bicycle School birthday bash! This year we turn 41 and we would love you all to come celebrate with us this Saturday the 10th. You’ll be able to eat a yummy treat, sip on a delicious beverage and enjoy free stand time and teaching from an experienced bike mechanic.
Oh yeah…did I mention also that it’s tax free weekend?! Yeeeah!
Jill is a local resident and long time studio denizen at Washington Street Art Center. She will be displaying recent sculptures (some interactive!) made out of Tin Cans and other homegrown items.
Opening Reception:
August 8th
from 7-9pm
with a special (not to be missed) live performance!
Jill Comer’s mixed media sculptures explore the themes of clumsiness and the everyday. Using elements such as concrete and wood, Comer highlights the often clunky and overwhelming challenges posed by routine objects and activities. “To me, sculpture is like prop-making for the everyday—little things to hold and ponder—objects that bring us back to a less complicated moment.” Expanding upon a longtime hobby—the ukulele—Comer also exhibits several different stringed instruments created with different objects, further illustrating the Frankenstinian nature that characterizes our day-to-day. The Somerville band, Cargo Cult, of which Comer is a part, will be playing at the opening reception. This unique group of musical enthusiasts is composed of artists, home-brew masters, and new parents who play eclectic covers.
