MaArte ka ba?
The Museum Foundation of the Philippines presents MaARTe: A Contemporary Filipino Arts and Crafts Fair on May 20 and 21, Thursday & Friday, 9:00 am to 6:00 pm at the Museum of the Filipino People (Old Finance Building). Celebrating the creativity really makes this country great, weavers from the north and south showcase their fabrics and hand woven items, alongside contemporary jewelry designs. Colorful bags crocheted from recycled plastic and wires by the women of the Invisible Institute revive an old craft with a new twist.
To highlight the event, there will also be a concert dubbed Himig at Kultura: A Night at the Museum featuring Palawan’s Sinika, Sinosikat, Drip, and Up Dharma Down on May 21, Friday, 6:00 pm. The concert will also be held at the Museum of the Filipino Courtyard.
An entrance fee of Php50 to the bazaar entitles the holder to free admission to the Museum of the Filipino People during museum hours and to the concert on May 21. Proceeds will be donated to the National Museum.
Never mind the GMA government’s massacre of the Boards of our cultural institutions, we need to keep the museum going.
