LOCAL ARTIST LAURA HANLEY

Lowell | The Eggroll Café will host an artist's reception on Friday, November 10th from 7 to 10pm, celebrating the work of local artist Laura Hanley.

A woman with a secret, a forlorn looking man and a vibrant saxophone muted by a teddy bear. These are just some of the images that currently decorate the walls of the Eggroll Café. The artist of these beautiful images is Lowell resident Laura Hanley. Hanley, 22, graduated from UMass Lowell with a bachelor's degree in fine arts. Her unique combination of mosaic style art and music has drawn quite a bit of attention to this working artist. As a young child, Hanley loved jigsaw puzzles and as a young adult, learned about classical mosaics in school. Her artwork has been celebrated across the city and beyond, including Farmhouse Magazine and the Lowell Sun. Her most recent work is a series of five paintings, collectively called "Rhythm and Vibe." The mosaic collages, possibly to be featured at a local restaurant, stand an impressive 4 feet wide and 8 feet tall, each depicting a musical instrument, such as a piano and a saxophone. Hanley wants her audience to hear and feel the music as they look at her work, a goal which has been accomplished as her paintings come to life with their bright colors.

Hanley's mosaic collages, as well as selected paintings will be exhibited at the Eggroll Café until December 11. A reception will be held this Friday to celebrate Hanley's work, featuring live acoustic music and a variety of drinks, including beer and wine.

Join us for an evening of music and fine food, as Hanley's unique works come alive before you.

The café will also be offering their full menu of internationally inspired dishes. Their fusion specials are filled with fresh vegetables and include selected ingredients such as tofu, light soy and oriental spices.

It is located a block from the University of Massachusetts Lowell's north campus, at 110 University Ave, Lowell.

The cafe is looking for other local artists to display their work. Those interested should contact Meng Kit at (978) 970-3411 or meng@eggrollcafe.com.

CAMPUS REPORT :
EGGROLL CAFE ROCKS

By Haleigh Stanway
Lowell Sun Correspondent

How about a chesseburger eggroll and some bubble tea?

When you need a pick-me-up in between classes or on lunch break, head over to the Eggroll Cafe on University Avenue. The cozy, intimate and tropical atmosphere here gives you that well-deserved escape from the bustle.

Eggrolls are our specialty. They are affordable and high-quality, said Tang Kit, owner of the cafe which opened in February.

They are also unusual. From the popular cheeseburger, steak and cheese, spinach and feta, southwestern to curry chicken eggrolls, this is not your average Chinese takeout fare. Each eggroll comes with its own special dipping sauce to enhance these zany combinations. At $3.50 for three, it's a quick and affordable lunch.

For breakfast, don't miss the gourmet coffee-of-the-day, imported from Italy, and homemade pina colada or banana pudding muffins. For dessert, bite-size eggrolls, filled with sweet bananas and drizzled with honey and black sesame seeds, are another new taste sensation.

Replacing iced coffee on the quad, bubble tea has become the hottest new drink for UMass Lowell students. Tea is on the bottom, milk on top, and sweet tapioca pearls anchor the bottom. Shake it up and it turns from a sunset to a bright orange delight. Chewy tapioca pearls are an added bonus.

The best part is watching people try to poke a hole in the top for the first time. It's a fun drink, said Sengly Song, who has worked at the cafe for two months.

Located right across from UMass Lowell's North Campus, this cafe is a nice change from the sub shops lining the street. We wanted to give something to the students, a place for them to study, relax, and grab some coffee (fusion foods and healthy meals). That environment wasn't really offered before, said Kit.

Free wireless Internet will secure this cafe's popularity.

Student art is displayed on the walls and live music Thursdays have begun.

We have mostly acoustic and jazz players, really enjoyable music, said Meng Kit, one of the managers. Tonight, the 50 Ways will perform.

They started as customers that loved the bubble tea, said Kit, and now they are one of our regular bands.

On July 6, Monika Ohri's photography will be on display. The Eggroll Cafe on 110 University Ave., Lowell is open Monday thru Saturday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m on Monday, Tuesday and Saturdays, 7 am to 10 pm on Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays (with After Hours until 1 am on Friday). For more information, visit www.eggrollcafe.com.
