Join the Minnesota Street Project on Saturday, December 6 for the first-ever Warehouse Residency program Open Studio event with artist Mik Gaspay! 

Mother-and-son artist duo May Gaspay and Mik Gaspay established their collaborative art practice in 2020. Combining May’s more than forty years of experience engaging traditional quilting techniques with Mik’s conceptual training, the artists create large-scale quilted works and installations that reflect sites and objects of personal, familial, and cultural significance. Exploring quilting as care, their work transforms fabric into vessels for storytelling, creating a soft archive that preserves and reinterprets intergenerational experiences.

Launched in 2024, the Warehouse Residency provides Bay Area artists at all career stages the dedicated time and space to create conceptually and physically ambitious new work. Open by invitation, participating artists gain access to the Exhibition Warehouse and Screening Gallery as flexible studio and presentation space. 

Offering a glimpse into how the artists' large-scale quilts are constructed, Mik Gaspay will share about their work and take visitors through the production process, demonstrating quilt-making techniques using a long-arm sewing machine. Visitors are invited to view work in progress and be among the first to see what will be the artist duo’s largest installation to date.
