David Borac and Wei Wei Rapoport

We were entranced this evening at the Classical Music Concert by pianist David Borac and singer Wei Wei Rapoport!

 

Karen Hutchinson & Zachariah Spellman

We thank Karen Hutchinson-piano & Zachariah Spellman-tuba for an amazing duo performance at FOG. They treated us to folk songs and a splendid Alec Wilder tune, Moon and Sand.

 

Yvonne's Knitting Machine Demo

Yvonne made this before our very eyes!

Yvonne treated us to a marvelous afternoon of knitting on her analog machine that uses punch cards. We were given blank cards to create our own design and a special hole puncher that the machine uses to knit the design.

The art on the walls was not created with this machine. She used another machine and computer program to knit her photographs.

Art for Ukraine - Hearts for Ukraine

Welcome to FOG’s fundraising exhibition supporting Ukrainian refugees. Margarita Soyfertis, a San Francisco mosaic artist, approached FOG with this idea and we are sympathetic to the cause. Margarita is from Kiev and wants to help her former country and fellow artists Vitaliy Pryzant and Ganna Prymakova, who recently fled Ukraine. She invited Ukrainian American artists Elvira Dayel, Nataliya Pryzant, and Gregory Vernitsky. All contributing artists are donating sales of their art to Hearts For Ukraine US, a non-profit humanitarian organization. The devastation and destruction of this war has touched most of the world and its horrors have no end. Please consider assisting Ukrainian refugees by purchasing art or donating directly to www.heartsforukraine.us

 

Reception for Michelle Mongan & Connie Harris
