NEW YORK 28 August 2019 — Visual artworks of eight Filipino UgnaySining artists from the Philippines and the United States were on display at the Philippine Center in New York from 29 July 2019 until 09 August 2019.

Dubbed as “Contemporeano Filipiniana,” the exhibit features the varying styles showcasing the ingenuity and artistic talents of Art Zamora, Rene V. Canlas, Maryrose Gisbert, Henry Lim, Ted Luna, Oying Madrilejos, Bonnie Jimenez, and Erwin Canlas. Their collaborative works range from painting, wood art to photography.

UgnaySining Manila was established to unite visual artists in the Philippines through arts, regardless of the medium they used or genre they are accustomed to.

“The Philippine Center supports Filipino and Filipino-American artists by providing them the venue where they can promote their artwork to the Filipino-American community and mainstream American public.” END
