Art Fair Philippines works together with Visayas-wide biennale in celebrating the Philippines’ regional art scene
In the past, in order to thrive as an artist in the Philippines, one must brave Manila to break into the scene. As years passed, galleries and exhibitions sprouted in the different islands of the archipelago, aiming to put the spotlight on undiscovered talents hidden beyond the country’s capital. Among those that championed regional Filipino talents is VIVA ExCon, a Visayas-wide biennale that started in Bacolod City in 1990.
For three decades, VIVA ExCon Organization Inc. has toured the Visayan Islands, putting up art events in the islands of Negros, Cebu, Panay, Samar, Leyte, Bohol, Guimaras, Siquijor, and Boracay to strengthen the visibility of the arts groups in the Visayan region. With its works, the organization has been recognized by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts and has become “the basis for local initiatives in the formation of the regional art festivals in Mindanao and Luzon.
