The Fine Arts program under the College of Communication, Art, and Design once again bring you works of art in this year’s Jose Joya Awards and Exhibition.
The annual painting competition, now heading to its 44th run, is named after the late Jose Joya, National Artist for Visual Arts, and the pioneer for abstract expressionism in the Philippines. As the former dean of the University of the Philippines Diliman College of Fine Arts, Jose Joya played a vital role in the institutionalization of the University of the Philippines Cebu Fine Arts Program in 1975. In the following year, dean Joya launched the first painting competition which to this day is known as the Jose Joya Awards.
To commemorate this legacy of artistic prowess, we invite you to join us at the Opening Reception and Awarding Ceremony on February 07 at 6:00 PM at the Jose T. Joya Gallery in UP Cebu.
