Culture: ManilART 2012
Both a gathering and celebration of novel inspirations, fresh points of view, and new contacts in Philippine art, ManilART 2012, takes place on October 2 to 6, 2012 at a larger scale than previous years. As with the successful run of ManilART in 2011, the SMX Convention Center, this year, plays host to 40 participating galleries, showcasing works that will introduce the uninitiated to the multifaceted style of Filipino artists as well as reinforce, more than ever, the art enthusiast's and collector's support for local talent.
ManilART 2012 is organized by the Bonafide Art Galleries Organization (BAGO), along with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), to be presented across 2,000 square meters of exhibition space. BAGO is a non-stock, non-profit group of 20 art galleries that aim to promote Filipino visual art both locally and abroad. For this year's event, the spotlight is turned on the best and most distinct examples of Philippine contemporary art, displaying the culture from which they are drawn, perspectives and ambitions, and their value in the global art community. source
