Kevin and Shari admire the work of Layton Hower at Norte Maar — photo by Anna D’Agrosa

I was a bad Bushwicker this weekend and didn’t make it to see very much of Arts in Bushwick’s fabulous BETA Spaces. (Although I hear that there were some art luminaries making the rounds and I definitely noticed a lot of energy in the neighborhood!) I did manage the short journey from Wyckoff-Starr to Norte Maar’s Hecho en Bushwick show with Paige, Kevin & Shari, and Austin Thomas of Pocket Utopia.

We got to speak with director Jason Andrew a bit about the art and artists over an Asti mimosa (he has proven himself to be the best host). The show featured paintings by Layton Hower (also showing at the Wyckoff-Starr) a collage by artist/rock star Andrew Hurst, wood assemblages by Norman Jabaut, gestural works on paper by Stephen Truax, and an amazing sculpture by Daniel Wiener. We were all duly impressed — big congrats to Norte Maar on another show so well done!
