We're suggesting a handful of events for your listening pleasure, as wells as quality venues to enjoy some art and inject some culture into your weekend.
Bret Barrett is a sculptor, painter and kinetic artist whose work is made from found objects with electronic and mechanized pieces. He automates these works to create surreal pieces of art that are imaginative, bizarre and wonderful.
