If you’ve kept up with show happenings this year, you’ve probably noticed that we haven’t reported on any events at DIY, all ages arts collective Drkmttr in months. That’s because back in December, the volunteer-run space, which originally began in the Chestnut Hill area before relocating to The Nations last year, was shut down by the…
