Call for Entries: ArtPetron 9 (Alay sa Pamilihang Bayan)

artpetron9

This year’s theme, ALAY SA PAMILIHANG BAYAN (Philippine Markets), is an open invitation to bask in the sense of community and abundance in the different traditional markets in the country. Entries to ArtPetron 9 must feature pride in the Filipino vendors and in our country’s produce as markets depict richness of life. Each market speaks on the unique identity of its locality. It proudly highlights its hometown’s distinct products — tuna market in Saranggani, danggit market in Cebu, strawberry fields in Baguio, vegetable market in Benguet. Philippine markets define who we are. Much of Philippine culture is deeply embedded in these public places, which reflect values of trust, industriousness, and pride in one’s produce.

The competition is open to all Filipino college students and students in a university program or museum-based painting/photography class. Age bracket of participants is limited to 15-28 years old.
