Closing Party: “THE LIKES OF US” Curated by Maya Hayuk & Alethia Weingarten 01/20/18 Brooklyn, NYC

THE LIKES OF US, curated by Maya Hayuk and Alethia Weingarten, showcases the work of ten Williamsburg artists shaped by a history of activating creative shared space. The exhibition features painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, video and musical programming. This multifaceted show will be closing on January 20th and the GROWROOM // SHOWROOM would like to invite you for one last chance to check out the exhibition!

“We pulled this show together in a couple of months with all of the artists volunterering their time, energy and expertise. Even though Alethia and I are the co-curators of the show, it was an incredible community effort. It all came very naturally to us, since we have all come up together – we bring each other up. Art is not a solo affair”

– Maya Hayuk
