October 21 – 31, 2020
Mindanao’s creative community charts exciting new ways forward as visual artists from all over the island celebrate Mindanao Art 2020. This despite the limitations set by the pandemic.
Now in its second year, Mindanao Art is spearheaded by Lawig Diwa Foundation Inc., in partnership with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) and Malayan Colleges of Mindanao in Davao City. It will showcase paintings, sculptures, and other creative works by artists from different parts of Mindanao. World-renowned artists will exhibit alongside promising new names in the largest art fair in the island, while MinArt Talks, the fair’s conference, will feature some of Mindanao’s leading cultural workers, curators, and art critics gather to discuss the latest issues that affect Mindanao’s art scene and more.
This year’s fair and conference will be held with the theme ‘Living Art in a New Landscape,’ taking on the challenges presented by the global COVID-19 Pandemic as opportunities to innovate and take the visual arts onward. Artworks will be exhibited on Mindanao Art’s E- Gallery, viewable to anyone in the world staying at home with an internet connection. MinArt Talks will also go online, with key speakers to give pre-recorded lectures before taking part in a live online & panel session.
Mindanao Art runs for two weeks starting 21 October, with MinArt Talks Online starting on 26 October 2020. There will be a limited physical exhibit at the Malayan Colleges of Mindanao campus in Davao City on a by-appointment-only basis to follow the IATF COVID-19 preventive protocols.
