Pinto Art Museum opened the Operart Art Exhibition in partnership with the Philippine College of Surgeons (PCS) on June 30.
The art exhibition is meant to raise awareness about PCS’ Surgery for Underserved Regions and for Education (SURE) program, which provides essential and high-quality surgical procedures for underprivileged communities in the country. It aims to reach remote and impoverished areas to provide surgical care to those who may need it, regardless of where they may be in the Philippines.
The works featured in the exhibition will be themed around wellness, healing, and wholeness, with some artworks revolving around nature’s vitality and beauty as they aim to embody recovery and rejuvenation, which mirrors the organization’s goals and initiatives.
More than 50 artists will have their works featured in the exhibition, which was curated by artists Jim Orencio and Ferdie Montemayor. It is coordinated by Dr. Kenver Rusuello.
The PCS was first established in 1936 and has collaborated with both NGOs and LGUs to extend their services to other regions that may not have access to important and necessary surgical services.
The Operart exhibition will be available for viewing until July 14.
