“We celebrate four decades of the Metrobank Art and Design Excellence through a milestone exhibition of our rich art collection that stands as a testament to the power of artists as the nation’s storytellers,” MBFI President Aniceto M. Sobrepeña said during the exhibit opening. “We started our 40th year by taking a break from our usual competition to be able to revisit and reaffirm the mission of MADE,” Sobrepeña said. “From this pause, we realized that our commitment to nurturing young Filipino artists and promoting Philippine culture has borne fruit. Now is the time to move toward sustainable artistic development for our young artists.”
Meanwhile, through the curatorial partnership with the Foundation University in Dumaguete, led by Fine Arts Department head and curator Sandra Palomar, theexhibition goes beyond the traditional museum experience. The M’s lower level features MADE-winning entries through the years, while juxtaposed in the upper level are the more recent works of the featured artists, showcasing their artistic evolution since winning the MADE competition.
