A RAW Journeynew
Now, nearly three years after RAW’s official public launch happened in August of 2011, the organization has become exactly that – the United Nations of Crafts. It has combined entrepreneurial spirit and artistic ability with international language, customs and products. RAW artisans range from a Bhutanese stone sculptor to a Rwandan basket weaver to a Central African embroiderer, and those are just a select few of about 20 members.

The drink typically combines a chilled, blended or iced Asian tea with chewy, pea-sized bubbles of a variety of flavors, from fruit flavors like mango, orange, or coconut, but most commonly tapioca.

Latino communities on display at Fitchburg Art Museumnew
For many Latin American artists, their work is not necessarily an extension of Latin culture. Surprisingly it has more to do with their immediate surroundings and life experiences, which have the greatest influence on them. They are inspired by a myriad of ideas that transcend a vision as opposed to a particular culture. This fall, the Fitchburg Art Museum (FAM) will feature exhibits that focus on the works of Latino artists, recognizing their contributions to the arts.

Selfiesnew
The bastard son of the digital age, for many, has been the selfie. In this week’s cover story, Worcester area residents join art and college communication professionals who regularly share their selfies on Facebook in discussing whether the selfie is a throw-away moment or the next generation of self-portraiture — and should they survive being stored on computers and websites that’ll eventually become obsolete — will they serve as invaluable historical documents for generations to come?
