The recently created SeeClickFix.com seems to be helping people raw attention to the small problems that get passed by. And Providence officials seem to be listening.

02/03 - 03/03 – Stereo Balance at the Yellow Peril Gallery

Yellow Peril Gallery at The Plant presents Stereo Balance, February 3 through March 3rd. The exhibition also signals the the launch of COLLECT ART Emerging Artists Series, which aims to introduce fresh new talent to the global art marketplace.

STEREO BALANCE invites viewers to experience a self-contained world, populated with symbols and images – and activated through sound. “The structure of the sound emulates four dimensions,” Jones notes. “The content of the lyrics and the images provide an environment within those bounds.”

STEREO BALANCE includes individual pieces linked to original music that can be heard from a media hub fabricated by Jones out of organic and digital materials to enhance the experience. For Jones, whose grandfather Dr. Harold Alexander Leslie was the Founder of the Springfield Symphony Orchestra in Massachusetts, pairing art with music is a natural endeavor. “Visuals come alive with sound,” he underscores. “If you listen closely, the music will reveal itself to you – wherever you are.”

Opening night reception will be on Friday, 3 February, from 5PM - 9PM. Contact V. Souvannasane at +1 917 655 1497 or e-mail at vs@yellowperilmedia.com.

02/10 – Fun-A-Day Providence

Month-long Project Culminates in Art Exhibit, Performances & Two-Night Celebration

Fun-A-Day Providence participants will display their art projects Friday February 10th from 7-11 p.m. and Saturday February 11th from 7-11p.m. at the the West Broadway Neighborhood Association (WBNA) 1560 Westminster St. Providence.

Fun-A-Day Providence is a creative challenge open to all inspired by the basic premise that everyone is an artist and everything we make is art. The task: Do something creative every day in the month of January and share it at the community art show in February.

After 30 days of creating, the time to celebrate and share is here. The gallery and celebration is open to all members of the community. Food, music, and fun will be provided. With over 70 participants signed up, an undetermined number of participants will display their work. New this year, a number of live performance-based projects will be shown. Last year, in its first year in Providence, the Fun-A-Day show was wall to wall and ceiling to floor with the projects of over 30 participants, and drew over 300 members of the community to see the show.

How do I find out what is going on around Providence?

Providence has a surprising amount to do, if you want to look. I am amazed when I meet people who say that there isn’t. So here are some good places to start:

VisitRhodeIsland.com :: For more events than you can shake a stick at, try this out. This link is only the Arts Calendar, besides.

Providence Daily Dose :: Great event blog that covers in surprising detail; what goes on where and what to expect. Also covers local news. A good place to start.

AS220 :: Live music and art venue with a great bar and taco diner   the Tacqueria. Also, a place for artists to live and show their work. Live music every night, art openings every other week. Silkscreen and letterpress print shop for rent, as well as a community photo darkroom.

LotsOfNoise :: Music blog for the underground scene. Listings by night for venues and bands that don’t make the local papers.
