December 5, 2025: Bubbled artistry

We start with the creative talents of our many interwoven communities. Not a Noplace is a nomadic QTBIPOC-focused open mic series inspired by a line from Lucille Clifton poem "what the mirror said." The events are a whole body experience, holding space and spotlighting marginalized voices and artistry in our area, and we’ll speak with organizer Camille Asia about their next occasion on Dec. 6th. We'll also hear the dreamy bedroom pop of the globetrotting Jeanines who get to join their western Mass and Brooklyn components in our studios for Live Music Friday before you can hear them at The Drake in Amherst tonight, and celebrate their recently released album “How Long Can It Last”.Plus as the days dwindle the time for bubbles is upon us, so we head to Provisions’ new home in Thornes Marketplace to sample sparkling wines in the Tina Turner Memorial Wine Thunderdome with Benson Hyde and Toni deLuca, and learn more about how you can sample the bubbly at their upcoming Champagne tasting.
