on Mon, Jun. 27, 2005 Hong Kong TV to film its view of S.J. culture By
Leigh Weimers How
others see us: Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), the
territory's equivalent of PBS, is sending a five-person crew to
San Jose on Saturday. Leaders there are trying to figure out what
to put into a major cultural district project in West Kowloon,
so RTHK is doing an eight-part series on places that have created
cultural hubs -- and they've contacted Arts Council Silicon Valley.
As a result, the Hong Kong folks will chat with such locals as
Connie Martinez of the Children's Discovery Museum, Nancy Glaze
of the Packard Foundation, Meredith Taylor of the Tech Museum
of Innovation, Dan Keegan of San Jose Museum of Art, former S.J.
mayor Susan Hammer and Sunnyvale artist Flo Oy Wong. Posted on Wed, April. 20, 2005 By Leigh Weimers ARTBEATS: No dry spell for Sunnyvale artist Flo Oy Wong. Her latest invitation is to exhibit two pieces of fabric art next month at the World Quilt Carnival in Nagoya, Japan. <click here for complete article> Posted

prize winners are cookin' up charity Noted Sunnyvale artist Flo Oy Wong and her retired engineer husband, Ed, deserved to win the best-overall kitchen prize in the recent contest organized by the Merc's Silicon Valley Home magazine. After all, the Wongs had taken their dark, outdated and poorly designed kitchen and turned it into a bright and modern one. But then they took things one step further and created something beautiful at another kitchen, as well. They donated their prize -- $1,000 worth of food from PW Supermarkets -- to the Our Daily Bread soup kitchen at St. Thomas Episcopal Church. ``I was simply delighted!'' exclaims a surprised Bambi Green of Our Daily Bread. ``We can stretch that food a long way.'' As for the Wongs, who made their gift without fanfare (until a dishwasher told me), Flo says simply, ``We're very blessed. We're just following the advice my father told me when I was growing up in Oakland's Chinatown, that you have to give back.'' The art of giving.
