Regal Seagull Album Release Party
Tomorrow at 7pm
· Medford
Friends the time has come, the moment you've been waiting for, Regal Seagull is finally releasing our debut album - MOUTH SOUNDS. We've worked hard, done irreparable damage to our hearing, and generally behaved foolishly to make this record. Some may say it's incredible, and we would let them say that. That said, we'd like to assure you that this album is in fact very credible. It has nine songs, each of which are real and true. (They make sounds when you click them on your phone and you can skip them and everything.) The point we haven't quite made until now is that we want to celebrate this wonderful release with you, our dear friends and community. What better way to celebrate the release of MOUTH SOUNDS than by standing in a room making mouth sounds together? Sounds with our mouths, that is. So- please join us, please bring a pal, let's get loud about it 🤘🤘🤘. We are psyched to be joined by Lesser Birds and 37 Houses - and will be featuring some surprise special guests. Artist Keagan Marcella will also be showing some of his work, including the album artwork! Tickets at https://link.dice.fm/5XPLPgmN13b or deepcuts.rocks

At the core of everything we do is PLUR — Peace, Love, Unity, Respect. It’s not just a slogan. It’s the standard we hold ourselves to. We look out for each other, respect the space, and make sure everyone around us feels safe and included. We have zero tolerance for harassment, aggression, or anything that makes others feel unsafe. Anyone who disrupts the space will be removed immediately, no exceptions. We genuinely care about the people in this room. We want you to feel free, safe, and fully present, and to leave with a night you’ll actually remember. Welcome to Electric Desi 🫶🏽

Machina Memoriae — Opening Reception
Fri, Aug 21 at 6pm
· Cambridge
Opening reception for Lauren Safier's new exhibition: Machina Memoriae. Safier's work draws on the language of industrial machine catalogs, where a mechanism's exact form is conveyed through technical illustration. She translates this method into a historiographic practice concerned with what survives in a record and what disappears. Her source is a 1911 catalog documenting the machines of the Blake and Knowles Steam Pump Works, once housed at this address. That same year, twenty-five women working in the foundry's core rooms became the subject of a state inquiry, prompted by male coworkers and journalists unsettled by the sight of them at work. What remains of them is only that account, written by others. Across her paintings and sculptures, Safier reimagines the historical record as an unstable chain of retellings, resisting the idea that history or memory could ever be continuous, or fully legible. The Foundry, 101 Rogers Street, Cambridge Friday, August 21, 6–8pm Complimentary food and drink provided by Dar Cafe

Oil Portraiture Bootcamp
Jun 27 to Aug 8
· Somerville
This 6 week class will guide students through the time honored traditions of layered portrait painting! We will learn about the range of materials and their application in a step by step painting process. Indirect Oil Painting is a time tested methodical approach to painting in successive layers to achieve specific natural effects. Students will focus on both paint handling and drawing with value. The students will begin with a full grisaille (black and white) underpainting, and then begin to build their color layers through mindful application of paint and medium. Our goal is a portrait with both structure and presence. ***We will skip the week of July 4th***
