ART in the WCUW Harold Stevens Gallery

Ends this Saturday, August 29th:
Creativity Over Silence

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!

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.

2Slick Jazz – with double trombones- comes to the FrontRoom!

The captivating sound of trombones takes center stage in this extraordinary jazz ensemble. Featuring the talents of trombonists Steve Piermarini and Wayne Branco, their repertoire showcases the timeless compositions of jazz legends JJ Johnson and Kai Winding, whose innovative trombone duets revolutionized the genre.

The band is rounded out by the pianist John Arcaro, bassist Jon Dreyer and drummer Mark Branco. Trombonists Jeff Galindo and Leslie Havens will be joining on several tunes, and there will be a special guest vocalist, Toni Ballard.

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

The early editions of the Lobe were a highly influential, alternative community newspaper and programming guide published by
WCUW 91.3 FM.

Originating in the mid-1970s, it served as a historical blueprint for the station's
radically creative, community-focused, and politically active early eras

We look forward to sharing historic covers and mastheads of the LOBE to highlight the contributors and WCUW volunteers who made them possible.

The attached cover and masthead are from the July/August 1989 edition of the LOBE!
