- [Digital Zine](https://flywheelarts.org/digital-zine/) - Hi! Welcome to our digital zine, Flypaper. We launched this in March of 2021 after one year of Covidtimes. This is an experiment, so we will see how it goes. Each "issue" will have band interviews, something from our archives, a profile of an artist, upcoming events of interest, and whatever else we can think of. We
- [Artist Spotlight | Robert Mace Bent](https://flywheelarts.org/2021/10/07/artist-spotlight-robert-mace-bent/) - The first thing you see at Robert Mace Bent's web site is not his best new painting, but a crooked shot of his studio (as if it were a 60's Batman villain lair), cluttered with stacks of paintings on paper and canvas in various stages of completion. I think this says something worth investigating further.
- [A Brief History of Flywheel Inside Out](https://flywheelarts.org/2021/10/07/a-brief-history-of-flywheel-inside-out/) - Along with the return of pandemic panic, fresh corn, and evictions, August 2021 brought us the return of Flywheel Inside Out. We produced three (!) shows: two at Forbes Library and one at John Doe Jr. Records in Greenfield under the Inside Out moniker. Although this sounds like a catchy new phase of Flywheel's story

- [Artist Spotlight | Nayana LaFond](https://flywheelarts.org/2021/07/07/artist-spotlight-nayana-lafond/) - In downtown Northampton a colorful pop-up art show appeared recently in the empty building where the hummus food truck used to park. The exhibition featured several interesting artists but I was immediately taken by a group of powerful black and white paintings of women, each with a bright red hand over their mouths. MMIWG
- [recs from the collec(tive) #2](https://flywheelarts.org/2021/07/08/recs-from-the-collective-2/) - just some stuff we've been digging, in no particular order (second edition -- check out the first printing here!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Joe has been eating delicious High Lawn Farms cheese delivered to his neighborhood by the Sunderland Farm Collaborative while listening to Enon for energy and Eno for calm. // joe TEENAGE BLOB, a new album/video

First the headline news: Flywheel gathered for a virtual meeting last week, and officially opened up discussions on the possibility of starting to book live shows again! What?! Where?! When?! Why?! How?!! You probably already know the answers to some of those questions. To the others, all we can say for now is:
- [Go There: El Corazón de Holyoke](https://flywheelarts.org/2021/07/08/go-there-el-corazon-de-holyoke/) - I've never surfed, and probably never will, but the way that sport calls for a combo of confidence, dexterity, and humility; the whole set up of it being a pretty direct engagement with the fundamental forces of the planet, only mediated by a board-width, it's pretty much my go-to metaphor for everything worth doing: gardening,
- [From the Archive: Harvey Sid Fisher](https://flywheelarts.org/2021/07/07/from-the-archive-harvey-sid-fisher/) - A special treat this month. We've unearthed photos and a review of the Harvey Sid Fisher show from way back on March 5, 2000. The review was published in the Daily Hampshire Gazette and written by go-to session player, journalist, musical sponge, and current B-52 keyboardist, Ken Maiuri. Ken wrote a column called Clubland in the

I'm always stoked on MA power pop/punk pop bands, and Nanny has made some of my overall favorite music to date in
- [Upcoming Events | March](https://flywheelarts.org/2021/03/14/upcoming-events-march/) - One of the biggest things we miss about doing Flywheel IRL are the shows, talks, and events we used to host! In better times, the space below would be stocked full of Official Flywheel Events, but since the pandemic began, those have been on hold. Since last March, we have been lucky enough to host
- [Bug Wheel Keep on Turning | Reinventing the 'Wheel](https://flywheelarts.org/2021/03/15/bug-wheel-keep-on-turning-reinventing-the-wheel/) - Welcome to this first issue of our new thing, Flypaper. This past trip around the sun has been both eventful and, ironically, pretty much event-less for your friendly neighborhood Flywheel. It turns out, Covid and collectively-run all-ages show spaces do not mix. For folks who have been not-rocking under a rock, the BIG HEADLINE is: As
- [Artist Spotlight | Jeff Wrench](https://flywheelarts.org/2021/03/14/artist-spotlight-jeff-wrench/) - Jeff sez: "This is the bassist for the band Yellow Front (now Felt Star), from photos I took at a Flywheel show in March 2019.

As Tanya Pearson's great video shows, this was a perfect way to celebrate Flywheel. I still can't quite believe it happened. And the story of how it happened is one I like to tell, so here goes! https://vimeo.com/showcase/5286761/video/522875430 I went down to

- [#GivingTuesday 2019](https://flywheelarts.org/2019/12/01/givingtuesday-2019/) - In 1999, Flywheel started as a scrappy volunteer-run art space in a former cabinet store; we’ve grown a lot since the cabinet store days. We are currently rounding out our 20th(!) year in operation. It’s incredible that a donation-based community arts space has survived this span of time. This speaks volumes (pun-intended) about our value
