We are proud to present the Angat Sining Fellowship Exhibit, showcasing the masterpieces of our young Filipino artists who went on a mentorship journey guided by renowned Filipino visual artists, including National Artist BenCab, Mark Justiniani, Toym Imao, AG Saño, Ang Ilustrador ng Kabataan, Fotobaryo, and The Mighty Bhutens.
The fellowship nurtured artistic growth while emphasizing the social impact of art. By engaging with the community and creating works that reflect Filipino culture and values, the fellows were inspired to use their talents for positive change.
This exhibit is a celebration of the fellows' achievements and a showcase of their works. Each artwork on display reflects the growth, passion, and lessons learned throughout their journey. It is a testament to the power of mentorship, collaboration, and a shared commitment to elevating the voices of young Filipino artists.
As they continue to develop their craft, these fellows are poised to make meaningful contributions to the future of the Philippine arts scene.
🎨 Exhibit Schedule:
January 17 to February 8, 2025
UP Fine Arts Gallery, Gallery 2
Tuesday to Saturday
