A reminder to everyone:

Ambiguous, an art exhibit featuring 14 of my latest works, opens June 23, 2023 in two separate galleries. This is an art trek--it begins 5:00 PM at Gallery 928, Shangri-La Plaza Mall, Mandaluyong, and then at 7:00 PM at Gallery 928, P. Tuazon Boulevard, Cubao. Three of my former students from different points in time will emcee the event and give brief remarks, followed by ribbon-cutting at both venues.

If we are Facebook Friends but have never met, please come up to me and introduce yourself. I am unable to recognize persons based on their photos alone, especially if their accounts bear not their real names but aliases. Those who know me well also know that I am not the type who likes hanging out, and so I may be staying at both venues for 15 minutes only. The paintings will be there, however, for eight days, and two gallery staff members will be happy to assist you.

We are still deliberating whether to offer door prizes for the 10th, 100th, and 110th guests, for example only--those are not the actual numbers--who sign the guest books. If we do, ensure that you leave your contact number or Facebook account name beside your legibly written name. The winners will be announced after the exhibit is over.   

Refreshments will be served at both venues, based on the number of persons who indicated that they are coming to the opening. 

You can stay in either gallery you prefer for as long as you like.
