ART in the WCUW Harold Stevens Gallery

Saturday, September 5, thru Monday, October 5: Sidelights

The Harold Stevens Gallery presents “ Sidelights: An Immersive Multimedia Installation” by Matthew Wasser.

What happens when a painting becomes a portal—and the viewer becomes part of the artwork?

In Sidelights, Worcester multimedia artist Matthew Wasser transforms the Harold Stevens Gallery into an immersive environment where projection, light, sound, and movement converge to blur the boundaries between physical and virtual space. The installation combines multiple projectors, interactive video technology, ambient sound, and subtle recitations from Shakespeare to create a space that is both contemplative and playful. Visitors are encouraged to interact and explore the possibilities in this evolving visual landscape.

Wasser is an internationally known video and media artist. His work includes, lighting design for theatre, dance, and opera productions across the United States and abroad. A recent MFA graduate from Clark

University/Becker School of Design and Technology and is presently employed at the Boston Museum of Science.

See a sample video.

Made possible in part through a grant from the Worcester Cultural Coalition.

Opening reception: Saturday, September 5, 5 to 7 pm. DJ Grailz will provide the musical vibes in the adjacent FrontRoom.

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. Closed Labor Day, September 7. Free to all!

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.

Listen to Gail Hunt, host of Art on the Air, talk with the artist, Matthew Wasser. Originally aired September 3, 2026.

Sunday, September 13: Chet Williamson’s Harmonica Jazz Quartet at the FrontRoom

Chet Williamson’s 40-plus-year career as a harmonica player has taken him from the streets of the Great Brook Valley Housing Projects of Worcester, MA to memorable performances around the world.

Reflecting his ability to play a wide variety of musical styles, Williamson has shared stages with many of the world’s most popular and finest musicians, including Sleepy LaBeef, Joan Osborne and Duke Levine.

As a teen, Williamson played blues after hearing Paul Butterfield’s first album. He also had the good fortune to sit right next to Babe Pino — a local phenom – all through junior and senior high school. At 15, Williamson took part in regular weekly jam sessions at the Lincoln Neighborhood Center and hooked Pino up with a gig at Poli’s, which later became the Ale ‘n Bun. There Pino led a band that featured pianist David Maxwell and guitarist Bob Margolin.

Williamson counts his experience sitting in with saxophonist Howie Jefferson, drummer Reggie Walley and organist Al Arsenault at the Kitty Kat as a highlight of his early development.

This will be a special show, with an all-original program featuring Jerry Sabatini, Mitch Seidman, Pamela Hines, Bill McGillivray and Jerry Wilfong. Save the date and plan on a cool jazz experience in a great listening space!

Showtime: Sunday, September 13, 5:00 pm. Doors open at 4:30 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.

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 May/June 1989 edition of the LOBE!
