SFO Fil-Am artist Mik Gaspay's artworks
by Gabby Moraleda
It was a shining and special evening for the UP Beta Sigma of Northern CA family
as very talented San Francisco artist Mik Gaspay (son of Pogs 68b) using a
different medium, designed several quilts meticulously sewn by mom May with
Lleva Abenes (wife of Gerry 66). The project was commissioned by the prestigious
San Francisco Arts Commission (SFAC). It is Miks 2nd art work in San Francisco,
the first was the Sunrise Mosaic in Chinatown. Definitely, remarkable
achievements by a Fil-Am artist.
200 guests from all over the city came to view these artistic creations now on
display until December 14, 2019 at the SFAC room in the historic War Memorial
Building on VanNess St. The images are inspired takeoffs from the inside and
outside views of the building, with the largest quilt depicting the entrance to
the underground tunnel.
For brods attending our Fratball on May 25-27 in Monterey, we can definitely
arrange a trip for you to get a glimpse of these masterfully done art pieces —
and with us, feel much pride and joy for what they accomplished — for
themselves, the FilAm Community and UP North. Certainly, a must see.
Cheers, cheers.
