The Inside-Outside Gallery (aka the CVS windows in Davis Square, Somerville) will feature work by 7 photographers: Greg Cook, Tiffany Knight, Mark Dannenhauer, Jesse Edsell-Vetter, Benjamin Greenberg, Chris Yeager & Akos Szilvasi. Their photos are inspired by the now annual HONK! Festival and will be on display throughout the month of September. An outdoor opening reception is planned for Saturday, Sept 4th, from 6-8 pm. Free and open to all. CVS Pharmacy, 1 Davis Square, Somerville, MA. For more information, contact Michael Rome (Photo Exhibit Coordinator), photoshow@honkfest.org.

In 2006, the very first HONK! Festival was an experiment, a not so humble occasion created on Columbus Day weekend for 12 activist street bands to perform in Davis and Harvard Squares. By 2009, HONK! burst at the seams with over 29 bands [stopped counting for all the impromptu participants]. This photography exhibit chronicles the excitement generated at HONK! 2009. As proven by this exhibition, the now yearly HONK! Festival has clearly become a photographer’s dream. For more information on the photography exhibit and other events leading up to HONK! 2010, go directly to www.honkfest.org/pre-honk/.

Complete information on this year’s 5th annual HONK! Festival [taking place from October 8-10, 2010] will be available soon after Labor Day weekend. Periodic updates will be posted on www.honkfest.org, twitter.com/honkfest/, and www.facebook.com/honkfestival. Further information can also be obtained by calling 617-383-HONK (4665).

At this early stage of the game, the HONK! Festival Committee would like to give special thanks to the City of Somerville, the Somerville Arts Council, and Davis Square businesses for their support of this year's HONK! Festival!
