The Erehwon Center for the Arts is hosting an art exhibit on the theme “Unleash the Beast Within” featuring the works of 33 painters from October 15-29, painter Rodrigo Aniag announced.
Many of the participating artists are members of the Freedom Art Society that held its first plein air/on-the-spot painting session with Rafael Maniago, a California-based, multi-awarded, internationally acclaimed Pinoy artist/educator, at the La Mesa Eco Park in Fairview, Quezon City on October 8.
The society is a coalition of several local Philippine Art Groups that envision a community of self-reliant, empowered, and world-class Filipino artists to help bring about a more culturally and artistically appreciative and socially aware nation, painter Jesse Esplana said.
It was launched at the 1st Freedom Art Society Artists’ Conference at the Marabella Palace Resort, Antipolo City on July 18 and joined by artists, other art groups, respected individuals in the arts, legal, business and publication scenes, Esplana added.
Guest lecturers gave seminars on The Legal Side of Art, The Business of Art, Philippine Art Trends and Competitions and On Preparing and Preserving Art For the Future.
An on-the-spot painting with 10 Artworks of the Day winners was also held, and a mini-exhibit, art exchanges and medical supplies distribution with the help of the Bakusi Foundation.
FIlipino artists and artist groups united again at the 1st FAS group exhibit in September at the Conspiracy Garden Bar in Visayas Avenue with its partners and fellow art groups like 4S, Artipolo, Artistree, Philippine Pastel Artists, International Watercolor Society, Let’s Paint, Munting Sining, Sining Obando, FilArts, Central Bank Artists’ Group, Buenas Artes Art Group.
