A FOND FAREWELL: STOREFRONT

If you've been following me here, you probably know that a large portion of my life has been devoted to Bushwick's STOREFRONT gallery, which opened in January 2010. As we near two years of existence, Deborah Brown has decided to re-establish the gallery as Storefront Bushwick. Tonight is the opening of ROUND UP, STOREFRONT's final show -- so it is also our closing party.

STOREFRONT WILL CLOSE ITS DOORS

DECEMBER 18

After two fantastic years, Storefront will close its garage door with a final show featuring artists who had one-person exhibitions in the space:

Deborah Brown, Hermine Ford,

Suzanne Goldenberg, Cooper Holoweski,

Andrew Hurst, Norman Jabaut,

Mary Judge, Greg Kwiatek, Justen Ladda,

Amy Lincoln, Kevin Regan, and Austin Thomas

OPENING / CLOSING PARTY:

Friday, December 9 -- 6-9PM

Jason Andrew will continue to run his nonprofit and gallery space Norte Maar, which will also be the new home of BRAIN WAVES, the zine and print collection I established at STOREFRONT in January 2011. Celebrating a year of zines, we'll have a zine exhibit in STOREFRONT's back room for the duration of the final show, up until December 18th.
