The Sprinkler Factory – a great location to display and perform unconventional art and music!
Harlowe Street, Worcester
Artists Jill Watts, Laura Cahalane, J-me Johnston and Peter S. Wise are pleased to announce an art exhibit and multimedia event at The Sprinkler Factory on Harlowe Street.
There will be both an opening reception and closing reception this summer, with closing reception date and time to be announced.
There is no entry fee and light refreshments will be available, also free.
The public is invited!
Dates and times of gallery hours will be listed on the Facebook page for The Sprinkler Factory as well as the page, “Konstruct: Modern Primitives” on Facebook.
The participating visual artists state: “All four participants are well versed in the formal aspects of Western European Art but have chosen to move beyond the mechanistic/scientific model of the world to attempt to include more of the human condition in their art.”
Included in the exhibit will be:
textiles
constructions
assemblages
mixed media works
paintings
… and musical events performed by Industrial Sonic Echo.
More musicians to be announced!
As a preview to the Konstruct event, J-me Johnston has ArtsWorcester’s “One More” exhibit.
Visual artists featured are:
Don Hartmann, J-me Johnston and Jill Watts. And Luis Fraire.
Both events will enhance Worcester’s growing reputation as a home for progressive art and music, as well The Sprinkler Factory’s well earned reputation as a great location to display and perform unconventional art and music!

See and buy FAIR TRADE gifts from around the world!
Drink hot cocoa and cider!
Munch gingerbread animal cookies!

THIS WEEKEND!
December 5 – 7
Head on down to the Sprinkler Factory, 38 Harlow Street (off Lincoln Street) to be wowed by artists and their art!
Sure, you, I and anybody with a pretty good eye can get artsy-craft-sy, cute/pretty and make stuff, but here’s your chance to buy real art by real artists this holiday season! I love going to “Open Studios” because you can WATCH the artists make their bowls or vases … ask them about the technical stuff ( How many degrees is it in that kiln?! How hot before you fire your stuff??), etc. You don’t have to buy to have a good time and learn! A whole different world
So … check out the …
