Spruce co-founders Bonnapart Galeng and Ric Gindap felt a void in Manila when big bookstore chains started removing magazines from the racks. By putting up Spruce, they are able to share with others their love for the art of magazines and how it can be a window to the world. "This space is living proof that print is not dead!" proclaims Gindap. Visitors are greeted by a diptych by artist Ronald Caringal of Brillo soap boxes bearing the words "Brilliant Bullshit". Locally made furniture by e/lou and Lamana are featured in the store in black so that they disappear into the space and spotlight the riot of colors from the magazine covers.

Spruce Gallery is located in UG3 of City & Land Mega Plaza along ADB Avenue corner Garnet Road in Ortigas Centre. Nearest parking will be at the Robinsons Galleria across the street.
