On exhibit at the first level are terraforming artworks by Mark Valenzuela and Pablo Capati III. This exhibit will be up till April 30, 2015.
On the 3rd level are two exhibits: “The Triangle Man and the Flightless Diwata” by Kate Osias and artwork by Dex Fernandez.
“My Big Sister Can See Dragons” by Rocky Sanchez Tirona and artwork by Liza Flores.
There will be displayed till April 29, 2015.
Two books, each born from two different CANVAS competitions, and brought to life by the collaboration of two pairs of young Filipino writers and artists. Read more here.
The second floor is one where guests will be in awe. Paintings by the masters are on display, Felix R. Hidalgo, Juan Luna and Fernando Amorsolo among others. It feels like even talking in whispers is like a violation of the place where history comes alive via the strokes in the paintings.
Photos are not allowed. AND please, do not touch the paintings.
The kids asked that we rest for a bit before going home.

On Sunday, Pope Francis will be there to meet the Filipino Catholic Youth and my daughter is one of the thousands of volunteers from the university’s roster of students.

]]>Who would have thought these beads for beading and accessory making will look good on a photo. I “staged” the green beads to make a number seven but I just drop the lace, button and lock without arranging these to make it look a bit random: I want to think my luck number is 7 […]
