Sunday, August 31 to Monday, September 22: Louie Despres: Don’t Stop Now, Photographs Over 25 years


Photographer: Louie Despres

The Harold Stevens Gallery at WCUW presents Louie Despres: Don’t Stop Now, Photographs Over 25 years, a 25-year retrospective exhibition that features photography by Louie Despres.


Louie Despres is a celebrated photographer based in Worcester, Massachusetts. He is known for his diverse range of photographic projects, including documenting the Worcester music and nightlife scene, exploring self-portraiture, and capturing the changing landscape of his family’s manufacturing business.


Despres has exhibited his work in numerous galleries and institutions, including the Worcester Art Museum, Fitchburg Art Museum and Worcester Center for Crafts. In addition to his exhibitions, Despres has published a number of self-titled books including in 2010, “Five Months” and in 2020, “The Photobooth Project.”


Gallery hours: Mondays noon to 3 pm; Wednesdays 2 to 4 pm; Thursdays 1 to 3 pm; Fridays 11 am to 2 pm; or by appointment. Free to all!


The opening reception is on Sunday, August 31, 5 to 7 pm. It is free and open to the public, and refreshments will be served.


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.


Cinema Worcester in conjunction with the WCUW Frontroom presents “It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley”, a film by Amy Berg.


It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley, directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Amy Berg (Deliver Us from Evil; Janis: Little Girl Blue; and West of Memphis), covers the life of the rising young star with an otherworldly voice and boundary-pushing artistry, who left the ’90s music world reeling when he died suddenly, at age 30, after the release of his critically acclaimed debut album “Grace.”


Told through never-before-seen footage from Buckley’s archives and intimate accounts from his mother Mary Guibert, former partners Rebecca Moore and Joan Wasser, Jeff’s former bandmates, including Michael Tighe and Parker Kindred, and luminaries like Ben Harper and Aimee Mann, It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley illuminates one of modern music’s most influential and enigmatic figures.


“Whatever the reason, it left me hungry for more. Then again, for Jeff Buckley fans, whatever it is, there will never be enough” – Austin Chronicle

Run time is 1 hour 48 minutes. NR.

Showtimes: Thursday, September 4, 7 pm; Friday, September 5, 7 pm; and Saturday, September 6, 1 pm.


Tickets $13.58 general admission, $11.44 senior/student with ID, $10.38 for WCUW members (processing fees included). Purchase tickets online.


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