MANILA, Philippines - Three artists will be honored for their contribution to contemporary art in the Philippines as the Ateneo Art Gallery announces the winners of its Art Awards on Thursday.
A ceremony will be held on August 11 at the Grand Atrium of the Shangri-La Plaza in Mandaluyong City.
The winners will receive an invitation to apply for international residency grants funded by the Ateneo Art Gallery and its partner institutions across the globe: Common Room Networks Foundation in Indonesia, La Trobe University Visual Arts Centre in Australia, Artesan Gallery in Singapore, Art Omi in New York and Liverpool Hope University in the United Kingdom.
The 12 finalists in the Ateneo Art Awards were artists below the age of 36. They are Renato Barja Jr., Frank Callaghan, Olivia D'aboville, Kawayan de Guia, Bembol dela Cruz, Nona Garcia, Sam Kiyoumarsi, Tatong Recheta Torres, Maria Taniguchi, Rodel Tapaya, MM Yu and Maria Jeona Zoleta.
Their works were displayed in exhibits which ran between May 2, 2010 and May 1, 2011.
The Ateneo Art Awards was established in 2004 in honor of founding benefactor Fernando Zobel de Ayala, an avid supporter of young Filipino visual artists.
This year's awards, themed "Anatomy of Autonomy," made participants dissect and survey artistic thought in the contemporary Philippine art scene.
