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

THE LIKES OF US features work from artists MAYA HAYUK, TUNDE ADEBIMPE, HISHAM BHAROOCHA, MORGAN BLAIR, TOM BUBUL, AMY GARTRELL, MICHAEL HAMBOUZ, JOHN ORTH, BENJY RUSSELL, & WOLFY PART II, all of whom are deeply engaged in community, activism, music and have a relationship with the GROWROOM // SHOWROOM and The Center for Advancement of Contemporary Art (C.A.C.A.) in some way.

C.A.C.A. is an experimental, independent art space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn run by Maya Hayuk since 2011. The 5000 square foot warehouse space houses Hayuk’s studio, a few other artists studios and the little gallery, GROWROOM // SHOWROOM. They’ve held intimate salons, raging parties, musical events, shot films, done weird workshops and and all kinds of other good stuff.

If this was not enough to get you out of the house, FACES OF DEATH (F.O.D.) will release its annual, ever-evolving iteration of zines which pay tribute to the past year’s fallen heroes and icons. Michael Hambouz has culled together portrait drawings and writings from countless international artists for the 2017 limited edition and in honor of F.O.D.’s 20th anniversary has partnered with Du-Good Press to publish a hand-silkscreened commemorative zine/print. These will sell fast so get there early!
