BINDLEBALL
Bindlestiff Studio’s “Bindleball” was organized last year as a fundraiser to celebrate and recognize the various artists and local non-profit organizations that have provide invaluable services and inspiration that continue to uplift the Filipino American community.

This year’s Bindleball, we will be presenting special recognition awards to the Manilatown Heritage Foundation (MHF) http://www.manilatown.org/ and to the South of Market Community Action Network (SOMCAN) http://www.somcan.org/

The 2nd Annual Bindleball will be hosted by Bindlestiff Studio’s new Artistic Director, Allan Manalo and will also feature music by DJ Sakel, Mike Boo, and AsonicGarica. There will also be dance performance by DS Players & Wiki Tribe as well as special surprise guest performers. Just added: Standup comedy by Nicole Maxali, Kat Evasco, & Manny Cabrera.

"TULAY"
The Tulay (Pilipino for “bridge”) Art Exhibit will showcase 30+ Filipino and Filipino American emerging artists who are making noise in the Urban Contemporary art world. This exhibit will be the first installment of exhibitions bringing together artists from the Philippines and local Filipino artists including illustrators, graffiti/street artists, and fine artists. Tulay will be curated by celebrated Filipino American artist James Garcia (gaNyan). According to Garcia, “Filipino Artists have always been in the forefront of originality and creativity in the Arts industry, but hardly ever in the limelight. I believe this exhibit is a grand example why we should be.”

Many of the local Bay Area Filipino American artists will be in attendance during the opening night reception including: Mighty Robot, Gem Mateo, James Garcia (gaNyan), Mia Ante, Artivista, Peabe, Bounce, and Marikina.
