Christmas is just around the corner and the season of giving is upon us. There is no better way to end the year than by giving back to your community. In collaboration with Caritas Manila, Caritas Manila Scholars Association (CAMASA) is making sure you can share your blessings through their latest project: Pinta ng Bukas: A HeARTful Project. This event is an art competition open to both digital and traditional artists.
The fundraising event aims to support the 5,000 Caritas Manila’s Youth Servant Leadership and Education Program (YSLEP) Scholars nationwide. YSLEP is the Flagship Program of Caritas Manila. The opening ceremony, which includes the ribbon cutting and art exhibit program, will be held on November 21, 2022, at 11:00 AM, at the Palm Drive Activity Center, Glorietta.
Various competitors’ paintings will be exhibited on November 21 to 24, 2022, in the same venue above. The judges include Mr. and Mrs. Julius and Tin Tin Babao, Dean Mary Christie D. Que, MS of College of Fine Arts and Designs of the University of Santo Tomas, and Mr. Rens Tuzon, a Bohemian Coffee Artist.
The gala night will be held at the Ayala Museum on December 5, 2022 (Monday), from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Guest performers are Jose Mari Chan and UST Coro Tomasino. RJ Ledesma and Rich Tijam will host the event.
