Coastal Memoirs: An Art Competition
Vic Galino, speaking in behalf of the
artists.
Artists of all affiliations will be given a boost once again through an art competition this month.
Dubbed as "Coastal Memoirs," the tilt also aims to boost tourism in the southern coast of Iloilo because the participants will be asked to make the churches of San Joaquin, Miagao, Guimbal and other religious edifices of southern Iloilo as their entry.
The organizer is the United Architects of the Philippines Hamili Chapter, in partnership with the Department of Tourism, Museo Iloilo, in cooperation with Zonta Club Iloilo Chapter and the Department of Architecture, Fine Arts and Interior Design of the University of San Agustin.
Part of the proceeds will go to the UAP Hamili Chapter's Adopt-A-School program. They will rehabilitate the building of Ilog-Ilog Elementary School in Barangay Ilog-Ilog, Miag-ao.
Architects Ma Cecilia Lataquin, Regina
Falconite and Ramon Teruel.
