If you’re looking for a bohemian, Paris cafe-channeling, arty, funky, hard-to-categorize experience in Boston tonight (and really, when aren’t you - I’ve heard the stories), check out Sting! 2 at the Beehive (the subterranean bar at the Boston Center for the Arts).

The event will feature performance art, “eclectic dub reggae” and “free-flowing horns,” and visual art by the  MCC-honored Jane D. Marsching (Photography Fellow ‘99, Finalist ‘03), Laurel Sparks (Painting Fellow ‘04), and Deb Todd Wheeler (Sculpture/Installation Fellow ‘03).

August Fellows Notes is up, with news, events, and exciting what-have-yous from our fellows and finalists.

Here’s a taste: the unique visions of Sherrill Hunnibell, with her enigmatic paintings and altered books at Maine’s Turtle Gallery, and Ranjanaa Devi’s Nataraj Dancers, with their version of the Ramayana at the Lowell Southeast Asian Water Festival, offer works unlike any other. Meanwhile, Julie Levesque’s sculptures and 2-D works bring an air of mystery to P-town’s Rice/Pollak Gallery, and Steve Tourlentes shares *prison stories in Big RED and Shiny.
