HOLD THE DATE – JUNE 8: The 2006 Philippine Festival Committee (PFC) of the Philippine American Foundation for Charities, Inc. (PAFC), and the Philippine Arts, Letters and Media groups invite you to attend a combined art exhibit at the Embassy of the Republic of the Philippines in Washington, DC located at 1600 Massachusetts Avenue, NW http://www.philippineembassy-usa.org/. This art exhibit entitled, “Filipinos in America: Through the Eyes of Artists” features the art of three Philippine born artists who now call the United States home. The works were created in celebration of the Philippine Centennial and cover a wide spectrum of expression from vignettes of homeland memories and family to art that captures the images of Washington, DC. Featured artists are Joey Mánlapaz, Julian Oteyza and Nilo Santiago. This exhibit’s opening reception is Thursday, June 8th from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. in Romulo Hall and features inspirational remarks by the artists, entertainment and light refreshments. The exhibit is in place through June 30th. A separate invitation with more details will follow. The 2006 PFC art program for this important Centennial year offers your entire family an opportunity to view works of this stellar group of artists at the Philippine embassy and be a part of mentoring the next generation of artists to express creative unity for the next 100 years. Your spirit will be lifted as this is an outstanding example of the benefit of celebrating 100 years of the Philippine presence in the United States and the unity artistic expression provides for children of all ages.
