ArtBeats Festival


It has been a busy summer, we have attended a lot of shows and just recently the ArtBeats Festival in Somerville. It was literally five minutes from my apartment.

What a great day it was. There were lots of hand crafted arts, good food, music made on a typewriter, and performance artists; painted entirely in silver(yeah, they were very cool!). What was really nice about this event was it was unexpected. I had no idea this was happening nor that it is a yearly event, so when we walked out the door to go elsewhere, we only needed to walk minutes to a plethora of entertainment.

I want to highlight one particular vendor that i was just really impressed with and actually hope to purchase one of her pieces soon. The company is called Parrish Relics, located in Stoneham, MA. It is all handcrafted jewelry inspired by designs of the Early Ages and the like. It is simpley beautiful, be sure to check it out!

Of course i took many photos, which you can check out here. What was nice about this for me, is it was a chance to just take very random photos of objects, but people as well; which i am trying to work on. I love to people watch and are really trying to work towards a more photojournalistic approach to taking pictures. It also had been a while since i had taken any pics, so this really gave me the inspiration i needed.


So, up next on the calendar is Social D in Hapmton Beach, NH! Out of all the shows i have been to this year, this is the one i am most looking forward to. I have seen them twice before just last fall in Boston and they were amazing, so i know Mike Ness and the boys will not disappoint! Check back next week for an update of the show.
