Dear Fellow Artists and Co-Workers:

Mabuhay! We salute you as a co-worker in the field of arts and culture. Allow us to invite you to join in facilitating art activities and events during the Art Jamboree scheduled on February 24-25, 2006.

The 1ST PHILIPPINE ART JAMBOREE 2006 shall hold simultaneous events. Each event, listed hereunder, shall have its own respective committee, which you can join as a member-facilitator:
1. an Art Exhibit of paintings, sculptures and other forms of tribal, ethnic and folk art,
2. on-the-spot painting contests among students & young artists in four different categories,
3. demonstration and workshop on basic and advance illustration and painting,
4. demonstration on paper, clay and wood sculpture,
5. orientation on computer art and graphics,
6. demonstration on stained glass and other unique functional artistic forms
7. an Artists’ Patio featuring artists in action,
8. an Artists’ Parade and Convention,
9. Closing and Awarding Ceremonies

Further, we wish to invite you to join the Art Exhibit. We shall accept a maximum of four (4) artworks with frames not bigger than 2 ft x 3 ft. Please prepare your original art works framed and ready for hanging.

And most important of all is our invitation for you to join the Artists’ Convention. This is a fervent call for all of us to bind together in our quest for regeneration. Let us re-define our role and responsibility as artists, individually and collectively, in the cultural realm and the society in general. Let us determine our directions and options toward an improved quality of life for all Filipino artists. Let us start to create short-term and long-term plans to initiate our chosen plan of action. Let this be the start of a concerted effort and solemn commitment by all artists to uplift the arts and the artists.

There is so much for us to do. But as the saying goes, let us start with this historic first step, one step at a time. May we invite you to participate in this great cultural event? Please accomplish attached Commitment Form and submit through Mr. Danny Acuña, (02) 641-2112. Or you can call (02)915-0797 or email sining_lunduyan@yahoo.com to confirm your participation.
