ACC Philippines Celebrates 20th Anniversary with Benefit Art Auction in Leon Gallery
Hello friends! Yours truly have been invited to the presscon last February 4, 2020 held at Azuthai as the Asian Cultural Council Philippines (ACCP) Foundation shall be opening its 20th anniversary commemoration this year with a Benefit Art Auction on February 22, Saturday, at Leon Gallery in Makati.
An important endeavor that solidly bonds ACCP and Jaime De Leon of the premiere auction house Leon Gallery, the event is expected to feature an array of impressive works topped by a 1930 Fabian Dela Rosa painting in oil “Dos Hermanas” (Two Sisters),” a gift of fabled artist Fabian de la Rosa to Rafael Palma, journalist, patriot, and President of the University of the Philippines and Ang Kiukok’s 2001 oil piece “Still Life (Window Series)”.
Other works by modern and contemporary masters such as Hidalgo, Manansala, Malang, Bencab, Sanso, Lao Lianben and National Artist and first ACC Grantee for visual arts Jose Joya, are also featured as part of the more than 150 pieces that are up for bidding. In the same auction two years ago, it was Joya’s iconic “Space Transfiguration” (1959) that fetched a record-sale.
Also included are items of historical significance, finest antiques, distinct furniture pieces and other objets‘d art that are impeccably rare and sought after.
The ACC Art Auction 2020 is the sixth collaboration of ACCP and Leon Gallery. As Chairman Ernest L. Escaler and President Maribel Ongpin affirm, “it is a partnership that has grown formidable with the shared aim of promoting Filipino artists.” Immensely grateful of the invaluable and generous
contributions by Leon Gallery and private benefactors through the years, the ACCP is ever more ardent in its mission, shared across the ACC offices in New York, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Tokyo.
ACC FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM
A fulfilling journey of engaging and supporting creative stalwarts and young brilliant talents under its
grants fold, the role of ACC has never been more crucial and vital. It paves opportunities for creative
explorations, personal empowerment, and essential cultural connections. ACC remains relevant in
providing a distinct grants program that advances international dialogue, understanding, and respect
through meaningful cultural exchange anywhere in the United States and Asia.
At the most opportune time, the Philippine Fellowship Program continues to make a marked difference in the lives of a growing list of Filipino artists, scholars, art professionals and institutions. To date, over 300 individuals-- experts, leading contemporary and young emerging artists in theater, music, dance, literature, architecture, and other allied arts, including institutions and organizations, make up the prolific grantees list.
It is bannered by National Artists Lucresia Kasilag, Jose Maceda, Francisco Feliciano and Ramon Santos for Music; Jose Joya for Visual Arts, Alice Reyes for dance and Kidlat Tahimik for Film; and institutions such as the Asian Composers League, Ballet Philippines, Cultural Center of the Philippines, Museo Pambata, National Museum, and UP Ethnomusicology, to name a few.
