EXECUTIVE PROFILE
Art gallery is a building or space for the exhibition of art, usually visual art. Paintings are
the most commonly displayed art objects. Art galleries are sometimes used to host other artistic
activities, such as performance arts, music concerts or poetry readings. Art gallery and café
provides exceptional coffee experience and dining, compliment of heritage and art.
KBOX Art and Gallery Café was originally an exhibit that sells paintings and different
artworks which symbolize the passion and artistry of the founder. It is owned by Architect
Kendel Esperas who growing up was never a big fan of art museums, galleries, exhibition, etc.
But as he got older, the more he appreciated arts. To bring the art gallery to people’s awareness,
he came up with the idea of adding a café inside to encourage people to spend time and at the
same time notice the paintings. KBOX Art and Gallery Café is located at 4th floor of Esperas
building where there is a bank, too. Kbox was named after him since he was called Kendal box
when he studied architecture in UST. Not only is it a place to appreciate art, you can grab a
bite of dessert and cup of coffee while reading in comfortable couches. There is a recording
studio for local artists and bands to enjoy as well. It is a place for both art and music which is
a wonderful combination. Unlike other galleries, Kbox has a very cool and relaxed vibe. Each
month a featured visual artist is chosen to solo exhibit their artworks.
B. HISTORY OF THE BUSINESS
Kbox Studios started operating in April 2011 as a venue for recording and rehearsal
services. Owned and managed by Architect Kendel Esperas, it was initially a rehearsal studio
solely for his progressive rock band, Kwadro, until he decided to have it opened to the public.
Together with local musicians, visual artists, literarians and art enthusiasts, they help promote
the identity of Tacloban music and art scene. Various artists and friends collaborated and
worked on giving Kbox a much needed rejuvenated, fresh vibe. Kbox added an Art Gallery
Café where a visual artist is featured every month through solo exhibit.
