If the campus green isn’t enough wilderness for you, try taking a hike, or maybe a bike ride or run, to one of these Central Mass. outdoor retreats. Most trails are well marked and fairly easy to moderate climbs, however, be prepared when you trek off by following these suggestions:

While breakins are not frequent, they have been known to happen at some places Wachusett Mountain State Reservation 345 Mountain Rd., Princeton 978-464-2987 mass.gov/dcr/parks/central/wach.htm Hiking trails are dirt and rocky, including one that doubles as the Midstate Trail, to the summit at 2,006 feet where an accessible tower provides views of Boston, Mount Greylock, New Hampshire and Worcester on clear days.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ARTSWORCESTER’S ANNUAL COLLEGE SHOW Juliet Feibel, ArtsWorcester executive director, shares why all college students creating art should participate in this year’s College Show. ASHLEY WILSON
What is the College Show at ArtsWorcester? The College Show is a juried art exhibit of student work from across the Colleges of Worcester Consortium. This year is the 10th anniversary of the College Show and Nick Capasso, the new director of the Fitchburg Art Museum, will be the juror. He will also award first, second, and third prizes, and up to four honorable mentions, all of which carry cash prizes. The opening reception is a great party. It’s one of the few events in which Worcester really feels like a college town with students, faculty, friends and family from all institutions here at ArtsWorcester. When is the show? The exhibit opens on Friday, February 7 and will run through March 13, 2014.
Who can submit and what type of art is accepted? Any student from participating institutions from within the Colleges of Worcester (Anna Maria, Assumption, Becker, Clark, Holy Cross and QCC), in any major or degree program, can submit up to three pieces. All kinds of visual art are accepted: painting, photography, sculpture, mixed media, installation, fine craft, works on paper and digital art. The only limitations are size and weight (twodimensional works cannot exceed 4 feet in either direction and no sculpture can weigh more than 40 pounds). All
students who submit art, regardless of whether or not their work is accepted for exhibition, will receive a free annual membership to ArtsWorcester. Just ask for your form and fill it in. When are submissions due? Submissions will be due at 5 p.m.
by Brittany Durgin on Friday, January 24, 2014. All submissions will be made online through our website, www.artsworcester.org. Is there a fee to submit or be included in the show? No. The Colleges of Worcester Consortium and the participating institutions help cover the cost of this event. What does it mean for me as an artist if I’m chosen to be in the show? Inclusion in a juried show is an important credential for emerging artists. Even before the work gets exhibited, though, you get meaningful professional experience. You need to select your work, get it ready to be exhibited, prepare an artist’s statement, set your price, and bring it in and pick it up on time, just as you would if you were a professional artist. Sales are also an important professional opportunity. ArtsWorcester takes only a 40 percent commission (the industry standard is 50 percent), and people like to buy art out of the College Show. Sometimes, the results can be even more glamorous. The First Prize winner of the 2012 College Show, Paul Kinsky, sold his piece to the newlyarrived director of the Worcester Art Museum. Now that’s a credential.

GETTING AROUND
By Ashley Wilson

The only real way to enjoy everything Worcester has to offer is to start by getting off campus. If you don’t have a car or would prefer to take a more environmentallyfriendly form of transportation, consider making use of these ways of getting around Worcester and surrounding areas.
WRTA Buses 2 Washington Sq., Worcester 508-791-9782 therta.com The WRTA is Worcester’s regional bus transit system. It provides safe, comfortable and reliable transportation around the city of Worcester as well as 35 surrounding communities. With its recently opened transportation hub at Union Station, all WRTA busses can connect commuters to other forms of transportation, including the commuter rail and taxi services. All busses, including the new diesel-electric hybrids recently added to the fleet, are wheelchair accessible. Fares for the WRTA are only $1.50 per one-way trip and a College Semester UPASS, giving unlimited rides to students for one semester, is available to students (with student ID) for $100.00. New technology even allows commuters to get information about schedules and arrival times directly on their cell phones by either scanning a QR code or sending the bus number in a text message to 41411. Also new are extended service hours on several routes, including later runs to and from Showcase Cinemas Worcester North movie theater on Route 30 and to and from Worcester State University via Route 3. Find a full list of schedules at therta.com/schedules/. The bus system can be confusing at first, but just taking a few extra minutes on the WRTA website can help familiarize yourself with schedules and routes to allow for a simple and inexpensive way to get off campus. Red Cab 508-340-4637 worcester-redcab.com
Yellow Cab 508-754-3211 yellowcabworcester.com The only way to get a cab in Worcester is by phone, so be sure to write these numbers down and save them somewhere. On a late night, after busses stop running, a cab may be your safest way home. Both services are available 24 hours a day and they usually take no more than 10 minutes to arrive. Rates are very reasonable depending, obviously, on where you’re headed. Barney’s Bicycle 582 Park Ave., Worcester 508-799-2453 barneysbicycle.com Bicycle Alley 1067 Main St., Worcester 508-752-2230 bikealley.com Fritz’s Bicycle Shop 328 W Boylston St., Worcester 508-853-1799 fritzsbicycleshop.blogspot.com A bike is always a good investment when you’re living in a city. No gas, less traffic, easier parking, and it will even help to keep you in shape! These three places are perfect starting points if you’re interested in bicycling. They have new and used bikes as well as safety gear and they can even help with repairs. continued on page 46

LIVE MUSIC

The Ship Room at Hotel Vernon
If you haven’t heard, you will: Worcester is a hotspot for great live, local music. From longhaired metal bands taking over the upstairs of Ralph’s every other Thursday to free Woo Town Wednesdays at The Lucky Dog Music Hall, Worcester is alive with great music at intimate venues.
The Hotel Vernon is one part historical with an old speakeasy, where it’s said Babe Ruth once had a drink or two during prohibition, and another part live LOUIE DESPRES music venue. The Ship Room at the Hotel Vernon, while smaller than most venues, is one of the city’s more unique live music spots with a sailing ship’s steering wheel on stage and lit-up portholes in each wooden booth. About half the time shows are free, while others ask a small cover fee. Find punk, metal, The Tokyo Tramps at the rock, ska and other loud music on Ship Room at the Vernon many nights, and on occasion, get your feet ready for DJed dance parties.

Ralph’s Chadwick Square Diner
Known for rock, metal and punk music shows upstairs, Ralph’s has played host to local and nationally-touring bands for decades. For most shows there is a cover, but always well-worth the small price. Every other Thursday at 9 p.m. Ralph’s hosts Metal Thursdays with several metal bands upstairs. Every once in a while, find a band downstairs or on a Saturday afternoon, outside, during one of the Diner’s car shows. Between sets, grab a Ralph’s burger from the diner cart, you won’t regret it.

The Palladium
With two different stages – upstairs being a smaller space with a balcony and downstairs being a much larger stage with both standing and seating areas and a balcony – The Palladium is a must go-to for live music. Larger nationally-touring acts come through often and some of the best hardcore shows in the area happen upstairs. Tickets for shows can be purchased at the door (if they’re not sold out) or at ticketmaster.com. A newly opened eatery, Paris of the Eighties Cafe, is adjacent to The Palladium and open during every show, selling speciality coffee drinks, sweet treats, salads and sandwiches.

The Lucky Dog Music Hall
Almost every night of the week Lucky Dog has a local or nationally-touring band take the stage. Every Thursday from 8:30 p.m. until the venue closes at 2 a.m., Lucky Dog is packed full when The Flock of Assholes play cover songs from the ‘80s, dressed in garb from the time with, of course, big, shiny sunglasses. It’s not just the band that dresses up – the audience is encouraged to come in their flashiest gear as well. There is a cover most nights, but Wednesdays are always free when a variety of bands play the weekly Woo Town Wednesday series. Check Lucky Dog’s calendar for other events, like Mister Smartass Theater and fundraiser events. The Lucky Dog Music Hall, 89 Green St., Worcester. 508-363-1888, theluckydogmusichall.com.
