1. Looking for something to do this afternoon? Stop by Fountain Street Fine Art to see its newest exhibit Internal Combustion, a juried art show through Aug. 4. Internal Combustion celebrates the gallery’s industrial roots and speaks to the transformative power of imagination.  Juror Joseph Carroll, of Carroll and Sons Gallery in Boston, chose 50 pieces by 38 artists from over 150 entries submitted by nearly 80 artists from all over Massachusetts and neighboring states. The gallery is open today from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
