10 exhibits that are worth another look
Here's our rundown of the best art of '10.
Review: Umberto Crenca's introspective retrospective at AS220
If you've been around the Providence art scene very long, you've surely heard the story. In the early 1980s, Umberto Crenca exhibited at the Antonio Dattorro Studio Gallery and the Providence Journal panned his art as shallow and simplistic.
Rude awakening
Coma Coma singer/bassist Eric Sampson brushes off the notion that Rhode Island's music community currently lacks quality acts.
Review: ''Among the Breakage'' scratches the surface at Bell Gallery
Over the past dec-ade, Providence art has been known for its visionary printmaking and graphics, crafty constructions, and funhouse installations, but local painting has tended to operate out of the limelight.
July — already?!?
Last call for THE DOWN & OUTS , THIS IS A MOVEMENT , and the return of COMA COMA to the Met on THURSDAY (the 30th).
Review: Leitzel and Billings at AS220; and ''Creative Collective''
In Marc Leitzel's sharply real scratchboard drawings in AS220's main gallery (115 Empire Street, Providence, through June 25), he depicts a tense moment between a couple in bed, a wind-blown woman wrapped in a cape, and a woman with tree branches and leaves bound up in her hair and opossums or rodents peeking out from the leaves.

New England's vinyl revival is in full flower by now. And What Cheer Antiques, on South Angell Street in Providence, is no small contributor.
Angry art: ''Rhode Island Blows''
A few months back, openly gay Rhode Island House Speaker Gordon Fox backed away from a same-sex marriage bill, which he believed would not pass, and threw his support behind civil unions.
Some fun at the Spot
The Schemers kick off the summer
Roz Raskin and the Rice Cakes break out the Monster jams
