So last Saturday, James came into the gallery rolling 10 man deep.  He had friends working on the shanty (a home made out of cardboard, metal scrapes and wood), bahay kubo (a traditional hut looking house), artists painting columns, the walls inside and outside and making a documentary on Filipino folklore.  Everyday, his crew came in with smiles and ready to work all day, usually until 10 o’clock at night.  The strong sense of comradeship makes us feel proud to be part of this wonderful show James has put together.

Come by and check out James’ transformation of 1:AM gallery tonight for the opening of Tabi Tabi Po from 7 – 10:30pm!

Here are some pictures of 1:AM gallery’s transformation:
