ART in the WCUW Harold Stevens Gallery

Now through Saturday, August 29: Creativity Over Silence

The Harold Stevens Gallery presents “Creativity Over Silence”, curated by Cate Smith and Allissa Williams.

The Harold Stevens Gallery presents “Creativity Over Silence”, curated by Cate Smith and Allissa Williams.



The exhibition asks artists to respond to the events of the last year and a half through their own artistic vision. Photographers, sculptors, ceramic artists, painters, video artists, and mixed media artists are coming together to address their reactions to our confusing and often angering times. Artists have the capacity to generate new ideas, illuminate where differences and joint passions lie, and reveal truths ignored by mainstream media. By bringing together these artists and their works, the show seeks to open up a dialogue between artists and between artists and their audiences.

Participating artists: Frank Armstrong, Bayda Asbridge, Heather Barros, Ricardo Barros, Lisa Barthelson, Scott Boilard, Jennifer Carey, Trish Dehls, Louie Despres, Alice Dillion, Stephen DiRado, Skye Donaldson, Claudio Eshun, Antonio Fonseca, Frances Jakubek, Patti Kelly, James Maurelle, Victor Pacheco, Toby Sisson, Sandrine Sheon, Hoang Truong, Jill Watts, Allissa Williams, Matt Wright, Liang Yuan.

Gallery hours: Mondays noon to 3 pm; Wednesdays 2 to 4 pm; Thursdays 11 am to 3 pm; Fridays 11 am to 4 pm; Saturdays 8:30 am to 12:30 pm; or by appointment. Free to all!

A talk on Saturday, July 25, 10:30 am to 12 pm, will bring together artists Bayda Asbridge, Jennifer Carey, Hoang Truong, and Liang Yuan to talk about their personal experiences with oppression and privilege, followed by questions from the audience and a discussion.

The Gallery is accepting donations for Food Not Bombs Worcester of toothbrushes, toothpaste, travel soap/shampoo, baby wipes, granola/protein bars, and gloves.

The Harold Stevens Gallery is located inside WCUW, 910 Main Street, Worcester, MA. Parking in the Clark University lot across the street, or on the street.

LIVE in the FrontRoom

Saturday, August 15: Troy Mercy at the FrontRoom

Winner of the 2024/25 Boston Blues Challenge: Troy Mercy returns to the WCUW FrontRoom, with Pat Faherty on bass (of Canyon Lights- originally GA20) and Harrison Foti on drums.

Troy Mercy is an electrifying Blues guitarist with a Rock & Roll heart. He has toured as guitarist with The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Booker T. Jones.

Troy recently signed with Gitcha Records of Nashville. The album, Let The Night Begin, is now available. “Expect songs you’ll be singing in your head later. This is raw and wild vintage-toned Rock & Roll that’s being created in the present.” (Gitcha Records) Come to the Frontroom and get it on vinyl or CD, along with a t-shirt.

Troy explains: “The power-duo format has brought me to life. I kinda need a lot to do musically or I just end up chewing on furniture, you know? Stripping things down to just voice, guitar, drums, gives me the most immediate emotional connection between my singing and guitar playing. There are no presets. I can steer the whole thing right off the edge of the world if I want to. Or play something pretty too.” He continues, “[I play] Brave New Blues for a Mean Old World.”

“This duo is like Lightnin’ Hopkins playing with The Small Faces while David Lynch films it.” -Alan Smithee

Showtime: Saturday, August 15, 7:00 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm. Tickets $20 cash or Venmo at the door. Light refreshments will be served.

The WCUW FrontRoom is located at 910 Main St., Worcester, MA. Parking in the Clark University lot across the street, or on the street.

What is the FrontRoom?

The WCUW FrontRoom is a community-run performance venue and event space located inside the WCUW 91.3 FM radio station at 910 Main Street in Worcester, Massachusetts. It is designed as an intimate, “living room” style space for local arts and community gatherings of up to 75 people.

Here is what makes it unique:

1. A hub for independent cinema

The FrontRoom serves as the screening room for Cinema Worcester. It functions as a cozy micro-cinema showing:

• Independent and foreign films.

• Documentaries and cult classics.

• The annual Oscar-nominated shorts.

2. Live performances and events

Beyond movies, the space is a versatile community cultural center. It regularly hosts:

• Live music: Acoustic sets, jazz, blues, and more.

• Art display: The walls of the FrontRoom feature Rose LeBeau’s rock icon paintings from an exhibit that was held in the station’s Harold Stevens Gallery.

3. Community “Living Room”

True to its community radio roots, the FrontRoom is available for private rentals and public use. 

WCUW promotes it as a space for:

• Birthday parties, celebrations of life, and fundraisers.

• All-ages events and neighborhood meetings.

• Collaborative projects with local NGOs and artists.

SUNDAY FUNDAY

11 AM - 2PM • 3 Brussels St, Worcester

June 7 - October 25

Brussels St Market is a weekly outdoor market with a mix of food, art, and local vendors.

There’s always something good to eat, a handful of new things to check out, and a reason to stick around a little longer than you planned. Some vendors are there every week; others rotate through, so it never feels exactly the same.

You can stop by quick or hang out for a while. Either way, it’s a solid way to spend part of your Sunday.

Sunday, August 16: The Russo Brothers Jazz Quintet at the FrontRoom

Photo credit: John Solaperto



The Russo Brothers- the area's most amazing, funky, top-notch jazz band– come to the FrontRoom. Join us for a fantastic night of being blown away by this quintet.

When you hear the Russo Brothers play, it is immediately apparent they are not a paint-by-number jazz group. The band’s music contains traces of all the music they grew up with, including blues and funk. “The word jazz kind of puts you in a box,” says Jim Russo. “We’re not in that box.”

Showtime: Sunday, August 16, 6:00 pm. Doors open at 5:30 pm. Tickets $20 cash or Venmo at the door. Light refreshments will be served.

The WCUW FrontRoom is located at 910 Main St., Worcester, MA. Parking in the Clark University lot across the street, or on the street.

Saturday, August 15: Troy Mercy at the FrontRoom

Winner of the 2024/25 Boston Blues Challenge: Troy Mercy returns to the WCUW FrontRoom, with Pat Faherty on bass (of Canyon Lights- originally GA20) and Harrison Foti on drums.



Troy Mercy is an electrifying Blues guitarist with a Rock & Roll heart. He has toured as guitarist with The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and Booker T. Jones.

Troy recently signed with Gitcha Records of Nashville. The album, Let The Night Begin, is now available. “Expect songs you’ll be singing in your head later. This is raw and wild vintage-toned Rock & Roll that’s being created in the present.” (Gitcha Records) Come to the Frontroom and get it on vinyl or CD, along with a t-shirt.

Troy explains: “The power-duo format has brought me to life. I kinda need a lot to do musically or I just end up chewing on furniture, you know? Stripping things down to just voice, guitar, drums, gives me the most immediate emotional connection between my singing and guitar playing. There are no presets. I can steer the whole thing right off the edge of the world if I want to. Or play something pretty too.” He continues, “[I play] Brave New Blues for a Mean Old World.”

“This duo is like Lightnin’ Hopkins playing with The Small Faces while David Lynch films it.” -Alan Smithee

Showtime: Saturday, August 15, 7:00 pm. Doors open at 6:30 pm. Tickets $20 cash or Venmo at the door. Light refreshments will be served.

The WCUW FrontRoom is located at 910 Main St., Worcester, MA. Parking in the Clark University lot across the street, or on the street.
