Now thru Saturday, Aug. 29: 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!
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.

“Summer Camp Nightmare”
Cinema Worcester in conjunction with the WCUW FrontRoom presents “Summer Camp Nightmare”, a film by Bert L. Dragin.
This July, Cinema Worcester and Nuclear Eye Fanzine are teaming up once again to bring you a weekend of fun and fright with the summer camp film series Camp Crystal Pond!
The well of summer camp movies is deep, and we’ve chosen a diverse mix of genre-spanning films from the 1980’s, when summer camp films ruled the screens. From an edgy teen drama, to a camp slasher classic, and a family-friendly juvenile delinquent comedy, there’s something for everyone at Camp Crystal Pond!
Our weekend begins with Summer Camp Nightmare, where at Camp North Pines, a seemingly normal summer of camp antics takes a hard turn into a violent revolution led by a sociopathic teenage counselor after the camp director is accused of molesting one of the young campers. With its punk-fueled script by Penelope Spheeris and an assembly of some of camp cinema’s most memorable characters, this special VHS presentation of a rarely seen gem is one not to be missed!
Run time is 1 hour and 30 minutes. PG-13 (sexual suggestiveness | mild violence/disturbing themes).
Showtimes: Thursday, July 16, 7 pm.
Save money with a pass for all three films in this Camp Crystal Pond series: Purchase your three-film pass online: $23.18 general admission (processing fees included).
Purchase individual tickets online: $10.38 general admission (processing fees included).
Tickets at the door: $8 general admission.
The WCUW FrontRoom is located at 910 Main St., Worcester, MA. Parking in the Clark University lot across the street, or on the street.

“Sleepaway Camp”
Cinema Worcester in conjunction with the WCUW FrontRoom presents “Sleepaway Camp”, a film by Robert Hiltzik.
This July, Cinema Worcester and Nuclear Eye Fanzine are teaming up once again to bring you a weekend of fun and fright with the summer camp film series Camp Crystal Pond!
The well of summer camp movies is deep, and we’ve chosen a diverse mix of genre-spanning films from the 1980’s, when summer camp films ruled the screens. From an edgy teen drama, to a camp slasher classic, and a family-friendly juvenile delinquent comedy, there’s something for everyone at Camp Crystal Pond!
Our weekend continues with Sleepaway Camp. Welcome to Camp Arawak, where the shorts are really short, the kids are mean as hell, and someone is brutally murdering campers and counselors in the most horrific of ways.
One of the greatest slasher films of all time, with an ending that will haunt you forever, it also perfectly captures the awkward confusion of adolescent sexuality like few films have done, let alone in the gutters of exploitation. Still controversial. Still weird. A must see for all horror fans!
Run time is 1 hour and 24 minutes. R (violence and gore | moderate sex/nudity/profanity).
Showtimes: Friday, July 17, 7 pm.
Save money with a pass for all three films in this Camp Crystal Pond series: Purchase your three-film pass online: $23.18 general admission (processing fees included).
Purchase individual tickets online: $10.38 general admission (processing fees included).
Tickets at the door: $8 general admission.

Beyond movies, the space is a versatile community cultural center. It regularly hosts:
• Live music: Acoustic sets, jazz, blues, and more.

| | Film in the WCUW FrontRoom
Presented by Cinema Worcester | |
Thursday, July 23, thru Saturday, July 25: Cinema Worcester at the FrontRoom Presents “Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World”
Cinema Worcester in conjunction with the WCUW FrontRoom presents “Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World”, a film by Sasha Waters Freyer.
“Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” This line from a poem by Mary Oliver continues to resonate across generations — and lies at the heart of this intimate and illuminating portrait.
A fiercely private yet profoundly influential voice, Oliver crafted poems that transformed quiet observation into something transcendent. Openly lesbian and deeply devoted to the natural world (and her beloved dogs), she built a life of intention, privacy, and creative clarity.
Saved by the Beauty of the World weaves Oliver’s own words through rare archival materials and candid reflections from those who knew and admired her, including John Waters, Stephen Colbert, and Oprah Winfrey.
From her formative years marked by hardship to her quiet life in Provincetown with her longtime partner, the film traces the journey of a poet who found salvation in attention — to nature, to language, and to love. Tender, contemplative, and deeply human, this documentary invites us not only to understand Mary Oliver’s life, but to reflect on our own.
Run time is 1 hour and 31 minutes. NR.
Showtimes: Thursday, July 23, 7 pm; Friday, July 24, 7 pm; and Saturday, July 25.
Purchase tickets online: $14.64 general admission, $12.51 senior/student with ID, $11.44 for WCUW members (processing fees included).
Tickets at the door: $12 general admission, $10 senior/student with ID, $9 for WCUW members.
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, July 25: Kerri Powers at the FrontRoom
It isn’t surprising that Kerri Powers landed the #1 spot on the Roots Music Report’s “Top 50 Folk Albums of 2014” with zero publicity. She has charted on the Folk Music Radio and RMR charts.
Over the years, Kerri has appeared at numerous prestigious venues and musical gatherings, including The Boston Folk Festival, The Philadelphia Folk Festival, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, and Telluride Bluegrass Festival. She has toured throughout the United States and overseas. Her songs have been in movies and TV series.
With ‘Love is Why,’ Powers’ latest self-penned full-length album, the New England-based artist explores the universal emotion of love and its huge influence on our decisions. In particular, she examines love in the context of holding on or letting go through human loss and grieving. The album’s original songs were written during the pandemic and after Powers lost her father, whom she calls “my best friend.”
The album, recorded at Dagotown Recorders in Boston, includes musical luminaries Bo Ramsey, Luther Dickinson, Kelvin Holly, Doug Lancio, John Putnam, Regina and Anne McCrary, Brother Paul Brown, Marty Ballou, Charles Giordano, and Asa Brosius. Singer-songwriter Paul Thorn, on duet vocals, sings a transcendent cover of Gregg Allman’s “Please Call Home.”
When you catch Kerri Powers on stage, you will immediately feel the realness and rawness of her artistry. She delivers art at its purest, a musical canvas painted with soulful colors and emotion that will pull you into her songs and her message of love.
“I don’t know where this young lady came from, but it’s got to be a secret place. This is not the kind of singing, writing, and performing that can be easily taught. It has to be in your spirit, in your blood, and the fact that she is from the Northeast is going to confound the artists down South, in the Delta, in Memphis, Clarksdale, Austin, and Nashville.” – John Apice, No Depression
Showtime: Saturday, July 25, 7 pm. Doors open at 6:30. Advance tickets are now available on Eventbrite for $23.18 (including a $3.18 processing fee). Get them while they last! 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.
