They aim to connect Somerville&#8217;s lively arts community with the general population of the city and surrounding areas. Ben Morse and Lou Bunk, both members of the Arts Council board, organized and hosted this great musical event at PA&#8217;s Lounge. The show featured 11 area bands performing <em>only<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/pablopicassowasnevercalledanasshole\" target=\"_blank\">Jonathan Richman<\/a> songs (well, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asabrebner.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Asa Brebner<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/familyjewelsboston\" target=\"_blank\">Family Jewels<\/a> cheated a bit and played covers <em>done by<\/em> Jonathan Richman, but he was forgiven, since he actually <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Modern_Lovers\" target=\"_blank\">performed with the man<\/a>. Speaking of Asa, it was a wonderful surprise to see him take part in this, and the place just <em>exploded<\/em> when he and his band came on stage. A truly fantastic performance.<\/p>\n<p>The following is from my brief scribbled notes, and apologies to all the bands that came on after the Family Jewels, as I left shortly after that. If anyone reading this stayed later, please feel free to send along your thoughts and I&#8217;ll add them in!<\/p>\n<p>I love how they organized this concert, with the &#8220;plugged in&#8221; bands on the main stage, and acoustic acts performing on the other side of the room in the corner, while each new band set up.

Last Saturday was Somerville&#8217;s turn (and I believe Brighton&#8217;s as well). This is a chance for Bostonians to support their community artists, and a chance for my confidence to be restored that Somerville hasn&#8217;t been <em>entirely<\/em> turned into a yuppie suburbia, and that there are still wildly creative, interesting people living within its borders.<\/p>\n<p>Due to time constraints, we decided to focus just on Vernon Street Studios, which comprises over 70 artists. To properly view the works of the <em>hundreds<\/em> of artists who take part in this, you would need weeks and not just one weekend.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/somervilleopenstudios21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-895\" title=\"somervilleopenstudios21\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/somervilleopenstudios21-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/somervilleopenstudios21-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/somervilleopenstudios21.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The range of creative expression and amount of talent displayed in this one building is breathtaking. I&#8217;m no art critic, but I felt myself transported into different worlds as I walked into each studio; from small rooms with a handful of works, to large elaborate spaces with large paintings, unusual sculptures, and even a few video installations. Realistic portraits, romantic impressionist styles, found objects, three-dimensional paintings, impressive tile work, abstract art, expressions of nature, and some sheer whimsy. What I really like about these open studios is that you&#8217;re able to see the works and meet the artists where they create, and not in some formal, austere gallery. Each space carries the essence of that particular artist, their influences, themes of their work, personality quirks. This I feel enhances the experience of what must be one of the most direct forms of self-expression.<\/p>\n<p>My two personal favorites&#8230;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_896\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/somervilleopenstudioshirsch.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-896\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-896\" title=\"somervilleopenstudioshirsch\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/somervilleopenstudioshirsch-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/somervilleopenstudioshirsch-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bostonsurvivalguide.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/somervilleopenstudioshirsch.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-896\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&quot;Untitled (after Velasquez&#39;s Las Meninas)&quot; and &quot;The Unreliable Narrator&quot; by Ann Hirsch<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/machinegraphics.com\/ann\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">Ann Hirsch<\/a><\/strong> Sculpture and mixed media.
