DIG THIS: ART BEAT 2011
As far as art-friendly neighborhoods go, there’s near damn none more arty than Somerville’s own “Allston for Grown-Ups,” Davis Square, and good deal of that rep comes this annual two-day celebration of all the crafty creative types that make the place the single-speeded, septum-pierced, owl-tattoed blast it is.
