The Alab ng Puso art exhibit, featuring works from more than 50 Filipino artists, concludes today at Art Lounge Manila at The Podium.
The exhibit, which raises funds for communities affected by recent natural disasters, is a collaboration project between Galerie Francesca, Art Lounge Manila, and the Bynum Faith Foundation, founded by Filipino-American NFL player Camryn Bynum.
The foundation acted as the on-ground arm, ensuring proceeds from art sales directly provided critical aid to those in need. Relief operations were recently conducted in three of the most affected communities in Cebu, devastated by earthquakes and floods.
Alab ng Puso showcased paintings, sculptures, and mixed media pieces expressing frustration, hope, and social conscience. The works also reflected artists’ responses to the current political climate, channeling dissent into tangible support for affected communities.
Participating artists included Roel Obemio, Pete Jimenez, Michael Cacnio, Kublai Millan, Carlo Magno, Gerrico Blanco, Raul Isidro, Anton Del Castillo, Janos Delacruz, Fil Delacruz, Richard Buxani, Agi Pagkatipunan, Glenn Perez, Meneline Wong MD, Iris Babao-Uy, Sam Penaso, Isobel Francisco, Isaiah Cacnio, and dozens more.
Art enthusiasts and socially conscious citizens are encouraged to visit, view the collection, and place bids, turning each piece of art into direct support for disaster-affected communities.
