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 […]
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 […]

Their first major creation was a shirt that read, “That Shit Krejci” – a mash-up of Kanye West’s “That Shit Cray” and the Bruins’ ever-so-popular number 46, David Krejčí. From there, the two have continued […]

Photographer, artist and entrepreneur, Stephan Brigidi has a show of recent work in (real) Black and White from October 17 through November 16.

The program includes two world premieres and four company premieres. The performance […]
The recently deceased, transsexuals, female impersonators – photographer Jeffrey Silverthorne, a professor in the visual arts department at Roger Williams University, flocks to these subjects like a moth to flame. Most known for Morgue Series, a collection of photos of the freshly dead in a Rhode Island morgue, his work is as grotesque as it […]
