Our Lives Matter: Art as Protest

power of the people don’t stop

Are civil rights important to you? Cool. How about art? Nice! The good folks over at Somerville Community Access Television plan to bring the two together for an evening of creative expression and cathartic conversation. Come hang out with local artists, poets, and performers, and prepare to leave inspired.

 

SCATV. 90 Union Sq., Somerville. 7pm/FREE. scatvsomerville.org


FRI 3.6 + SAT 3.7

Hallelujah the Hills, Marissa Nadler, The New Highway Hymnal, Damon & Naomi, Glenn Jones

can’t stop the beat

What if we told you that you could find killer local music in downtown Boston? Huh?! Come be a part of history as ArtsEmerson presents its second concert series dedicated to showcasing artists who are usually excluded from Boston’s so-called entertainment district, put together by Dig contributor and the Hills’ own singer/songwriter Ryan Walsh.

 

Paramount Center. 559 Washington St., Boston. 9pm/$10 advance + $12 door. artsemerson.org


FRI 3.6

ICA First Fridays: Southern Exposure

head south, minus the guns and bigotry

If you haven’t yet braved the frozen tundra and made it out to the ICA for the new exhibit When the Stars Begin to Fall, maybe some food and alcohol will convince you. The museum invites all to celebrate a lil’ Southern hospitality with art, music, cuisine, and cocktails.

 

Institute of Contemporary Art. 100 Northern Ave., Boston. 5pm/$15 (free for members)/21+. icaboston.org


FRI 3.6

Pat Lipsky

get lost in color

This is totally one of those things that would be awesome to attend high … just saying. Get your highbrow culture fix and check out the work of this geometric abstraction master at ACME’s opening reception. The collection is the gallery’s first solo exhibit of Lipsky’s work, and covers her career since 1995.

 

ACME Fine Art. 450 Harrison Ave., Suite 305, Boston. 6pm/FREE. acmefineart.com


SAT 3.7

SexyFunTime: A Party for Your Inner Kid

leave the whip-its at home

Ever wish you could go back to the days of slumber parties and spin-the-bottle, minus the crippling awkwardness? SexyFunTime takes partying to the next level with comedy, interactive performance, dancing, games, storytelling, snacks … shall we go on? Plus, it’s all inspired by scientific studies, so maybe you’ll learn a little something too.

 

Arts at the Armory. 191 Highland Ave., Somerville. 7pm/$23/21+. AFHI.us


MON 3.9

Arts on Our Avenues

takin’ it to the streets

Braving the Green Line is worth it for this one-night-only pop-up gallery. Public art! Local performers! Food! Keynote speaker Julie Burros, Arts Czar, will also be making an appearance! It’s for a great cause, too: proceeds will go to Allston Village Main Streets, a neighborhood nonprofit that keeps Allston weird (and a better place to live).

 

Brighton Music Hall. 158 Brighton Ave., Allston. 6:30pm/$1+ donation, suggested $20.15. allstonvillage.com
