Opening Night Reception - Beyond The Barrelman Exhibition

Celebrate Filipino Creativity

A passionate, creative spirit runs deep, wide and strong within our Filipino American community!

Catch a vibrant glimpse — and help us celebrate — next Friday, September 5, during our Opening Night Reception for the 2nd Beyond The Barrelman Exhibition of Filipino Art. The reception is FREE and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.

Help us make this another success; and please forward this invite to friends, families and colleagues.

The Day After: Adobofest

Why am I using Zoji?

We're trying out Zoji (instead of Evite) because Zoji seems to offer some advantages. For starters, Evite limits our list to only 500 members, and their emails are often sent to junk mails. We welcome any feedback you may have about this new online invitation service.

Thanks,
