This weekend for me was all about art and culture! It all began with the setting up of our Asian Cultural Council of the Philippines (ACCP) Art Auction! This was the very first time that we putting something like this up so we were all very anxious and exctied! The whole event was quite difficult to mount but all these challenges are really super worth it as the benefits are really immeasurable.
We had the auction at the Finale Art File! I love this space! I want to live there! LOL!
I just wanted to remind all of you about the Asian Cultural Council Art Auction that will be held tomorrow, Saturday, February 6, at the Finale Art File, La Fuerza Compound,2214 Pasong Tamo Makati. This special event starts at 4:00pm but the live auction starts at 6:00pm. We were able collect more than 100 artworks and you can see them all at our website www.asianculturalcouncil.org
I just want to share with you a small kilig moment! I decided to donate some of my fashion sketches for the cause! LOL! I am “Saling Pusa” LOL!
PLEASE COME AND BUY OUT ART! This will really help deserving artists get grants and scholarships, and really opentheir mind to what is out there! See you all!
HUGS!
RAJO!
Ps. check out my sketches below! What do you think?
I sit on the board on the Asian Cultural Council! The council’s main purpose is to find funding for artists to be sent abroad! This years main fund-raising activity is very exciting! We are going to have a major, as in MAJAAAH!, (LOL!) art auction on February 6 at the Finale Art File. There will be previews on February 4 and 5 so people can view the pieces before the auction begins.
We are currently working on the website so that people can view the art for sale online! I do hope that all the readers of my blog can help me spread the word. This is really going to benefit the artists. I love the idea of artists helping other artists! Our goal is to be able to raise enough to have at least 10 grants!
I know that this is going to be possible! Please spread the word!
HUGS!
RAJO!

There is a wealth of talents in this country that only need a chance to become outstanding artists. The Asian Cultural Council Philippines (ACCP) raises funds to help make this happen by providing grants for them to learn from and be exposed to other artists in Asia and in the United States.
Some noted ACCP grantees include Lucrecia Kasilag and Jose Maceda (both national artists for music); Tikoy Aguiluz (noted film maker); Jose Joya (CCP Gawad award and national artist for visual arts) and Alice Reyes (founder of Ballet Philippines) to name a few. The ACC fellowship program has supported over 600 Asian and American artist scholars since its inception.
The Finale Art File is located in the La Fuerza Building (Gate1), 2214 Pasong Tamo, Makati.
