Angono artists mount exhibit on 'bayanihan'

50 artists of Angono, Rizal - the Arts Capital of the Philippines – will come together in an art exhibition from August 12 to 18, 2012.

 

The exhibition entitled “Bayanihan, A Convergence of Angono’s Art Expressions” will feature known and respected visual artists such as Nemiranda, the Blanco family, Pepito Villaluz, Orville Tiamson, Perdigon Vocalan, Carlos "Totong" Francisco II, Wire Tuazon among others.

 

A wide selection of traditional realistic paintings, abstract and cutting edge contemporary style will be on display at the Nemiranda Art Café, the Blanco Family Museum and The Second Gallery in Angono, Rizal.

 

Although the town has previously witnessed similar exhibitions, this will be the first time for all the active artists to collaborate as one group for the love of their hometown, Angono, which is celebrating its 74th Foundation Day this month.

 

The works of international artists Nino Quartana and Olivia d’Aboville will also be on display.

 

Opening ceremonies will be held at the Villa Jhoana Resort, Ibanez Street, Barangay San Isidro, Angono, Rizal on August 12 at 4 pm. The event, co-presented by the renowned footwear brand ‘Ipanema’, is made possible through the support of the Angono Municipal Government with the kind participation of the Cultural Department of the Italian Embassy in Manila.

 

On August 20, 2012, a catalogue of participating artists and their works will also be launched. For details, call Sara Luisa Siri (Event Director) at 0922-5546685 and Tourism Officer Patnubay Tiamson at 0906-4612403 and 0929-2544159.
