Jones Street Station at Mass MoCA
March 27th, 8:00 pm
Jones Street Station, who have been opening for Ben Kweller on his recent tour, "play their catchy originals with virtuosic mandolin jams and honky-tonk piano fillers, and top them with off-kilter, good-time harmonies." (Time Out New York) Legendary rock critic Greil Marcus said listening to them "is like running down a mountain on a switchback trail, the sound of surprise generating its own momentum. There's a punk glee inside the bluegrass craft -- and a punk vehemence inside the bluegrass smile." Please click here for info...

Gramercy Bistro, which recently moved locations to the Mass MoCA campus, will be reserved exclusively for patrons of "Flavors of France," a wine-tasting and food pairing, hosted by the Adams Lions Club.

Gramercy's Chef/Owner, Alexander Smith, will prepare foods from the Rhone, Provence, Burgundy, and Minverois/Languedoc regions of France. Each of the foods will be paired with a French wine and an American wine, so that tasters may compare and contrast how different wines complement foods and vice versa.

This Is Killing Me - catch it before it closes!
Mass MoCA
Now through April 15, 2010
Drawing on the anxieties inherent in art-making, This is Killing Me brings together eight artists who in their diverse practices make palpable a distinctive sense of unease about their identities as artists and the creation of their work. Present in much of the work are deep feelings of inadequacy-the artist plagued by the idea that she or he is not good enough, hard-working enough, or famous enough (and never will be). Some of the work unveils the sources - or lack thereof - of the artist's inspiration ù laying bare the unending pressure to develop meaningful and original ideas. Other work gives shape and form to the creative process, pointing to the labor, the hand of the artist, and accompanying procrastination entailed in making art. Please click here for more info...
