It’s playoff-time in the Power Play Senior Hockey League (PPSHL), and while the league is still young, it’s never too soon for rivalries to form. Last season the number one seed at regular season’s end was the Salem Sasquatch. And when the semi-final results were in, and Salem and the Boston Gold Kings had earned a trip to the Finals, Salem was the favorite.

Abstract Art: Contemporary Approaches, the upcoming exhibition at Mosesian Arts, showcases the myriad of distinct ways artists take to create abstract and non-objective work today. Rich textures, organic and geometric shapes, brilliant colors, and emphasis on process are the common threads that unite these works, from paintings to prints, collages, and drawings to exquisite fiber pieces and sculptural forms. However, the concepts behind the art are very different.
