Artekalye
Mayor Bing Leonardia leads the opening
of Artekalye.
It was a rainy Sunday of February 1st 2009 when the very first “Artekalye” of the Negrense Artists was officially opened at San Agustin Extension, Bacolod City.
Through this celebration, the artists will share their love for art and this will run until the last day of February.
Despite the bad weather, many came to witness the event. Mayor Evelio "Bing" Leornadia was the guest of honor. The city officials were there, too. The program went well and everybody enjoyed the presentations.
The event was headed by popular Negrense artist Nunelucio Alvarado along with Bro. Tagoy Jakosalem, Jeffrey Montaño, Art Magalona, Aaron Sorbito, Dave Palanca, Joan Macarro, Lea Remolado, Sony Golez, Patz Ombion, Bayles family, Dolly Gatuslao, and the Pintor Kulapol. They’ve prepared an art exhibit and workshops and they’re hoping that this activity will be celebrated every year.
Visual arts galore.
The opening of "Artekalye" was really a success. Kudos to those involved!
