SUMMARY:VERSE/VISUAL 2025
DESCRIPTION:FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\n“VERSE/VISUAL”: A Free and Open to All Weekend of Art Inspired by Art returns for its seventh season in Ipswich and Haverhill.\nwww.versevisual.com\nCynthia August\, Founder and Director 978-998-2228 cynthia@cynthiaaugust.com\nKathryn Zelkowitz\, Producer and Exhibition Coordinator 978-810-6811 kazelkowitz@gmail.com\nIpswich\, Massachusetts\nStep into a vibrant and lively conversation about inspiration at VERSE/VISUAL\, a free community art festival happening August 15-17 at EBSCO Hall\, 5 Peatfield Street\, Ipswich MA and September 26-28 at the Haverhill Art Walk.\nSeventy-four visionary artists have been paired to create brand-new works inspired by each other’s previous pieces—resulting in a dazzling display of artistic dialogue across mediums.\nBeyond the gallery walls\, the weekend will pulse with live music\, hands-on community art projects\, and opportunities for connection and creativity for all ages.\nDon’t miss your chance to witness how art sparks art—and find your own inspiration.\nVERSE/VISUAL is a collaborative art experience where inspiration becomes the medium.\nAt its core\, VERSE/VISUAL is a creative exchange: each participating artist submits a completed work of any medium – a painting\, a poem\, a short film\, a sculpture\, a song\, a performance piece\, maybe even a table! – which is presented in the exhibition for its own artistic merit. But that’s just the beginning. Each of these works is then given anonymously to another participating artist\, who creates an entirely new piece in response.\nThe result is a dynamic pairing of “inspiration” and “exploration” works of two creations in conversation. Sometimes the link between the works is direct and visible\, echoing a color palette\, a phrase\, or a material. Other times\, it’s conceptual\, abstract\, even surprising\, like a meditation on theme\, emotion\, or form that reveals the breadth of interpretation and imagination.\nTogether\, these artistic pairings create an ecosystem of influence\, connection\, and transformation. The final exhibition is more than a showcase of individual talent. It is a living map of creative lineage. Viewers are invited into a rich\, layered experience: to trace the threads of inspiration\, to reflect on how ideas evolve\, and to witness the many ways artists see\, feel\, and respond to the world and to each other.\nVERSE/VISUAL is not just a show. It’s a journey. A dialogue. An invitation into the heart of creative process.\nAdmission is free. All are welcome.\nVERSE/VISUAL IPSWICH\nAugust 15-17\, 2025\nEBSCO Hall\, 5 Peatfield Street\, Ipswich\, MA\nFriday\, August 15th Opening Reception 6:30pm – 9pm\nSaturday\, August 16th 10am – 6pm\nMusic by Chuck Doran and Friends 2pm – 4:30pm\nSunday\, August 17th 10am – 4pm\nMusic by Mile Lane 11am – 1pm\nMini VERSE/VISUAL experience for all ages – try it yourself!\nVERSE/VISUAL 2025 is made possible in part through a grant from Mass Cultural and is sponsored by the Institution for Savings.

SUMMARY:Heavy Metal Horns - Live at The Cut Album Release Party
DESCRIPTION:8/15/25\nReserved Seating $45\nGA Standing $30\n7:00pm doors / 8:00pm show\n21+\, Positive I.D. Required \nThe Heavy Metal Horns came onto the Boston music scene in the late 80’s and thrived throughout the 90’s. They quickly became one of top bands in the city – winning awards\, selling out shows and playing major jazz festivals across the country. The horn section played on Extreme’s “Stop The World” tour in 1993. This led to being signed to the Japanese record label Polystar Records. The band toured the U.S. over the next five years and continued to play until early 2000. \nIn 2016 the legendary club Johnny D’s announced it was closing its doors. The club asked if the Heavy Metal Horns could play a show as one of the clubs most popular acts. This show was amazing and the audience said we had to keep playing. Every year since 2016 the band plays a show. \nThe Heavy Metal Horns sold out big boat cruises\, The Cabot Theater in Beverly\, MA three times. Last year the band performed at The Cut Live in Gloucester\, MA. This show was recorded and “Heavy Metal Horns Live From The Cut” will be released in August 2025. The band is always adding new music. \nThe new release features new songs from Thaddedus Hogarth\, Peter Calo and Felix Rentschler. The Heavy Metal Horns are still alive and kicking after all these years and sounding great. Check us out on SOSS Records.
