Making Sense of challenging times through art

This year, inspired by the drive to move forward despite the challenges of the pandemic, the theme was “restART”, wherein young artists are encouraged to visualize the youth’s role in nation-building during an uncertain time.

More than 1,500 entries were submitted this year under the categories of the Digital Fine Arts, Watercolor, Sculpture, and Oil and Acrylic.

Virtual Art Interact Sessions

Another learning opportunity offered this year for artists and art enthusiasts alike is the Virtual Art Interact Sessions - a series of talks wherein established local artists shared their different approaches to art.

Topics presented included how young artists can develop their skills even with limited resources, technology, art, and advocacies. These were presented by NSAC awardees Emard Cañedo, Anjo Bolarda, and Tokwa Peñaflorida, respectively.
