the structure is a testament by artists for artists who will finally have their forever home, a yearning that incubated 74 years ago since the inception of the Art Association of the Philippines .After collecting a few million pesos, the “Kanlungan Boys” who got their chops through the Kanlungan ng Sining or Art Haven in Rizal Park contracted rent-free with the National Parks Development Committee from 2002 to 2014 in exchange for 12 paintings yearly.
Famed Joseph A. Villamar of the Saturday Group, declared: “Ang AAP po ang naging daan ko upang makapasok sa mundo ng sining. Malaki po ang utang na loob ko sa AAP dahil dito ko nakilala ang mga Tao na nagbigay sa akin ng lakad ng loob na ipakita ang aking talento sa pagguhit. Kung ano man narating ng aking sining ay malaking bahagi nito ay mula sa AAP.”The park house screeched to a halt in 2014 when the NPDC under a new chief refused to renew their contract reasoning office conversion.
Together with other AAP officers – Roger Santos, Monette Alvarez, Angelito Florendo, and Veronica Olan – Sarmiento and Lim “scoured Metro Manila since COVID started, even up to Tanay where a misstep deeply scarred my right knee.We ended up with this P1.8 million 200 sqm lot in Barangay Ulat, Silang , Metro Tagaytay,” Lim said. “There are quite a few galleries in Tagaytay, so we decided it was the right location with our small budget.
AAP members number 8,000 with 2,000 active. The two-storey structure with roof deck is designed by Sarmiento, who took up architecture at Mapua in 1978. The contractor/engineer is also pro bono from his high school classmate, John Morales.
