Event though Bushwick scruffiness is lovable, sometimes it’s nice to get all fancy. And if it’s for a good cause, than there is even more of a reason. On Monday night, supporters of Norte Maar from Bushwick and elsewhere, all gathered at Mitchell-Innes & Nash gallery in Chelsea for a benefit night of this Bushwick-based non-profit organization. The night honored Julie Martin of E.A.T. who was introduced by a noted curator Barbara London. After Julie Martin received an award made by Bushwick sculptor Ben Godward, we enjoyed David Tudor’s Rainforest I performed by Composers Inside Electronics, and a preview of Norte Maar’s upcoming ballet The Brodmann Areas. The evening was simply lovely, even outside of our beloved pigeon town, and as it is unclear when we will be able to witness Bushwick artists in fancy attire again, here is a little photo documentation of the special occasion….
