“Selecting a dance instructor is a little bit like finding your own magic fairy” Being a dad is a real adventure with a learning curve that surpasses much else that I’ve done in life. I’m suspicious of anyone who says otherwise. When my little boy told me he wanted to dance, I mobilized my energy […]
Artist Aimee is bending the norm with elastic, colorful surrealism I get around a bit and with a lifetime of exhibitions under my belt, I like to catch non-gallery shows almost anywhere. It helps keep me sane and it’s often the place with the freshest stuff — regardless of style or origin. It gives folks […]
Okay, I’m an old crusty beatnik. You’d have to drag me into a Starbucks (here come the lawsuits) kicking and screaming. And yet, a place like Julians on Broadway in Providence, well, I can’t wait to return to. I’ll explain. For me, Starbucks is little more than a Burger King or McD’s that sells overpriced […]
Local photographer captures the beauty of Rhode Island I was wading in the water along the shores not very far from Scarborough Beach out near Narragansett, shooting pictures and wandering with my dog Ali. It was a hot summer day and I was a young upstart shooter just as the big surge of photography was […]

As part of parental modern duty, knowing, sampling and viewing media is an ongoing challenge. Not everything that is appropriate is always tasteful or worthwhile. But when it is, it is! Free Birds was a joy and fun for everyone. What’s truly pleasant about these modern forms of animation is that they are high in […]
This old beatnik likes hitting those little out-of-the-way areas that function as a business and a show area — gallery space that allows local art types the access to a wall that perhaps they would not have otherwise. The Hairspray Salon on 259 Wickenden Street does exactly that. It allows artists to hang and display work […]
Photographer, artist and entrepreneur, Stephan Brigidi has a show of recent work in (real) Black and White from October 17 through November 16. It is nicely produced and presented and is a pretty straightforward folio of his artistry, along with other constructions and collage and a simply stunning book on Venice. It is back for […]
Mentors’ and students’ collaborative art Do you want to make a difference? Well, if you don’t know anything about the New Urban Arts Center for mentors and students, shame on you. Many of the mentors are from Providence, like Rhode Island poet laureate, Rick Benjamin. These mentors foster creative talents in interested and dedicated high […]
Local musicians David Furlong and Joe Caron have made a stunning CD, Halfway Home, which contains 11 well-produced tunes and was recorded at the Richmond Room. A second CD is underway.
