CLARK FREEPORT— A total of 100 Kapampangan artists will be exhibiting their artworks from December 29, 2021, until January 29, 2022, in this Freeport as part of a Visual Art Exhibit for a cause.
With a theme “Limitless Art”, the exhibit will showcase over 200 artworks from new young artists as well as old masters who are also renowned national artists.
The said event recently had its opening and ribbon cutting ceremony on December 29, 2021 in the Clark Museum.
Clark Development Corporation (CDC) Chairman Atty. Edgardo D. Pamintuan led the ceremony together with CDC Vice President for Admin and Finance Engr. Mariza O. Mandocdoc, Angeles City Mayor Carmelo Lazatin Jr., Pampanga Provincial Tourism Officer Christian Alvarez, and Pampanga Press Club (PPC) President Anthony Emmanuel G. Tulabut.
They were also joined by Hilton Clark Sunvalley Resort Commercial Director Francis David, Clark Marriott Hotel Assistant Director of Sales Jenny Rivera, and Park Inn by Radisson Clark Director of Sales Michael Nabong as guests of honor during the event.
According to Limitless Art Organizer Bennylee Bondoc, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the artworks will go to the Camalig Community Pantry.
“We help around 200 to 300 people, sometimes we even reach 500. We want to help more people and we want to continue doing this project. You help the artists and you also help the community,” Bondoc said.
She also mentioned that this is not the first time that they organized an Art exhibit. “Limitless Art” is the fifth Art exhibit hosted by Bondoc and a group of artists.
“I called it Limitless Art because art has no limits. The artworks are not just sculptures or paintings. We also have photography and for this year, I put up a portrait wall for our artists who do portraits so that people can see different kinds of portraits,” she added.
Clark Marriott Hotel, Hilton Clark Sunvalley Resort, Quest Hotel and Conference Center-Clark, and Park Inn by Radisson Clark also pledged their support for the project.
Art enthusiasts may visit the Clark Museum from December 29, 2021 until January 29, 2022, Tuesday to Sunday from 9:00am to 4:00pm except for holidays.
The exhibit is open to all ages with an entrance fee of P100 for adults. Senior citizens, PWDs, students, and children will be free of charge as long as they bring their IDs.
