The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) lays out its plans and programs nationwide in celebration of the 33rd edition of National Arts Month this February. Know more:

THE National Commission for Culture and the Arts lays out its plans and programs nationwide in celebration of the 33rd edition of National Arts Month this February., this year’s festivities hope to capture new audiences through a combination of in-person and online activities. The theme relates as well to the bountiful artistic harvest the Commission aims to showcase, as the arts community continues to recover from the past couple of pandemic-ridden years.

“Art is an important inspiration for values formation, nationalism, critical thinking and problem-solving, and I believe in its important role in harnessing creativity to further the greater good,” NCCA chairman Victorino Mapa Manalo said during last week’s press conference at the Manila Metropolitan Theater.

Kicking off the celebrations for National Arts Month 2023 is the opening ceremony slated on Sunday, February 12, at the Rizal Park Open-Air Auditorium. To be showcased are walking tours and workshops for the seven art forms at 2 pm. These will be followed by performances from 6 pm, featuring Joey Ayala, Kalinga Music and more.

Also present at the press conference was NCCA Arts Ambassador Catriona Gray. It is the third year that the 2018 Miss Universe celebrates the National Arts Month with the NCCA, after being named as its art ambassador in 2020. “[As we observe National Arts Month every February, also known as love month], celebrating Philippine arts and culture is like a love letter to our own country,” she said. “The love affair with Philippine arts and culture is something that we should really fan the flames of throughout the years and for all the years to come.”
