Participating artists who showcased their works were:
"MA'ARTENG MALABON" was the second art exhibit organized by the Malabon heritage group of Monchet Lucas, Richard Bautista, Leona Nepomuceno and Terry de Jesus. It is part of the group's continuing efforts to foster awareness of Malabon's history and heritage, promote local art and culture, and support homegrown talent. The first exhibit was held in 2006. Monchet says some of our local artists are already well-known in art circles abroad and we don't even know them. At the "MA-ARTENG MALABON" exhibit, local art enthusiasts had the opportunity to view and own the work of Malabon artists.
Guests included Malabon Vice Mayor Len-len Oreta, Manila Vice-Mayor Isko Moreno, Cong. Chona Gonzales, Valenzuela Councilor Shalani Soledad, former Senator Tessie Aquino Oreta, Moleen del Rosario, Barbara Pardo-Tiangco, Chita Gatbonton, Lisa Ongpin Periquet, Tina Paterno and others.

ReplyDeletedear Alpha,
ReplyDeleteIm part of the organizers of the Ma'arteng Malabon. The organizers just called on Malabon artists and painters for this show, and we just feel like giving them a venue, at the same time promote our place.
regarding income, we didnt make anything from that. it became an avenue for the artists and painters to be known in the local scene, and the outsiders to notice them as well.
regarding sale of their works, it is the artists and painters who will transact with the buyers. in short, no money is involved. just passion of the group to create a psyche that we must do our thing to improve our place.
