A trio of exciting abstract artists will show at the popular “Expressions in the Abstract” exhibit at the Borrego Art Institute starting Nov. 9 in the McQuown-Wermers Gallery. The colorful abstract paintings and mixed media of Antonio Escalante are personal representations of the landscape in which his work is made, be it the sea, desert, mountains, or built environment. Through intimacy and abstraction, he creates a compelling visual narrative. Painter Jennifer McHugh’s loose, free-flowing work features emotional pieces influenced by the everyday and her response to it. “My work serves as a visual journal, and my hope is that each viewer interprets a story, an inspiration, as unique and spontaneous as what moved me to paint it,” she said. Mixed media artist Robert Wright will present assemblages made from detritus of the Southwest that invite inquiry and contemplation. “Happenstance and serendipity are integral in the revival of these objects,” Wright said. “Giving them a new purpose and a second chance is the pleasure of presenting this body of work.” The opening reception is Nov. 9 from 5-7 p.m. The shows run through Dec. 8. Music will be provided by the jazz duo The Baker Brothers. Visit: Expressions in the Abstract Borrego Art Institute on Instagram and Facebook

Aeg presents Maverick City Music with Special Guests Tasha Cobbs, Leonard X Jwlkrs, Tim Godfrey, Stephen Mcwhirter and Sam Rivera Maverick City started with a dream to make space for folk that would otherwise live in their own separate worlds. We break the unspoken rules that exist in the CCM and Gospel World! But more importantly, Maverick aims to be a megaphone for a community of creatives that believe in Jesus and the Gospel, but have been pushed to the margins of the industry of Church Music. This is what brings us together. Maybe now more than ever not just the Church but the world needs a plurality of strong diverse voices of Believers carrying messages that can help reshape the world. However we didn’t start out to be a diverse community for the sake of diversity. We simply became aware of our deep need for people that were so absent from our lives that their silence was deafening. Our response was to create space for that which we had so profoundly became aware of: Our need for each other.
