James DeMarco grew up in Watertown and became a goaltender at age 5. It’s his life’s passion to stand between the pipes and keep the puck out of the net. Combining this with the love of cartooning Small Saves emerged in 1991 and took on a life of his own. “To play goal–then come home and draw Small Saves — is my ideal definition of a good day.”
Franklin Einspruch’s “Aquinnah 2021-8-17” is one of the pieces on display at Storefront Art Projects in Watertown. The following announcement was provided by Storefront Art Projects:
Watertown art gallery Storefront Art Projects is pleased to present Across and Within: Paintings and Comics Poetry by Franklin Einspruch. Franklin Einspruch is a Painter (over 50 group and solo shows), Poet (The Moon Fell On Me, Cloud on a Mountain and an anthology of Comics as Poetry with his imprint, New Modern Press), Art Critic (Delicious Line, New Criterion, Art in America, The Art Fuse), Editor (Aphorisms for Artists: 100 Ways Toward Better Art by Walter Darby Bannard ), Blogger (Artblog.net), and recent Fulbright scholar. He pursues a wide variety of drawing and painting mediums, some of which he makes himself in a “pared down style of outlines and filled-in colors, subtly modulated.

The Mosesian Center for the Arts in Watertown has announced events for a Pride Weekend festival and other programs, performances, and exhibitions for June and beyond. “We’re thrilled to see more people returning to live events and classes,” said Executive Director Darren Farrington. “Every month, we offer a diverse variety of the best in performing and visual arts that Greater Boston has to offer, and we hope people will take advantage of the easy access to the arts at the Arsenal.”
Pride Weekend
On June 17-18, Boston drag and cabaret star Patty Bourrée returns to Mosesian Arts for her Last Pride on Earth. Intergalactic war, famine, and disease may have left Patty as the last queen standing on a now desolate planet, but naturally, she’s taking this as an opportunity to stage a final Pride Parade for a party of one. Journey with Patty and a cast of glamorously bizarre characters (all played by Patty, of course!) to a not-so-distant apocalyptic future in this all live-sung drag cabaret fit for the end of days. June 17 & 18, 8:00 PM.
