Nore's NY Art Show

By Tong and Rita Salgado 

Nore is again back in NY. On April 9, 2013 she hosted the Printmaking Art Exhibit at the Philippine Center.

The etchings and lithographs that were exhibited are some of the artworks exhibited in Manila in 2010 and 2012,  That Manila exhibit was then timed with the printmaking workshops (at UP and the Cultural Center) sponsored by Lenore RSLim Foundation for the Arts.  Nore brought the said art materials with her for this NY show where those that will not be sold will be shipped back in Balikbayan boxes. 

The guests of honor were the 3 master printmakers who went to the Philippines to do the workshops. The event was later graced by the attendance of Manuel "Mang Maning" Rodriguez, Sr. who came straight from the airport. Mang Maning, the Father of Contemporary Philippine Printmaking, is 101 years old and now resides in the Bahamas with his daughter. 

CAFA friends In attendance are Rody Picar, Sam Santamaria, Tong and Rita Salgado (day off from apostolic work) and Bili Mayo (early time off from apostolic work), Oni Mayo was in NY but missed the show by a few days.  After posing with Mang Maning the CAFA group at the exhibit posed in front of their favorite artists' works.  Naturally these were those by Pearl, Emy and Nore. The reception offered delicious finger foods and generous servings of wine throughout the evening.

Successful!
