SINING AT KALIKASAN

Isang makakalikasang pagbati po sainyo!

Earth Day Network Philippines (EDNP) is a network organization with a total membership of 2,032 organizations nationwide from government, LGU’s, business, church and civil society organizations. It is, by far, the largest environmental network that works and collaborates with the public and private sector to effect change particularly on areas where the environment is affected.

On the other hand, Earth Day Network Philippines, Inc. (EDNPI), a duly registered NGO with the Securities & Exchange Commission, supports the administrative work of the EDNP. It coordinates the annual Earth Day celebration in the country and acts as a liaison with Earth Day International. Moreover, it is responsible for partnering with government agencies particularly the Department of Environment & Natural Resources which has accredited it as one of the boda fide NGO in the environmental advocacy.

February marks the celebration of the Arts’ Month in the country. In line with this, EDNPI is having a fundraising event entitled “Sining at Kalikasan”. The goals of the said auction are 1) to support the environmental advocacy of Earth Day Network Philippines, Inc. and, 2) to become an instrument in the promotion of the arts and artists who support Mother Earth. It will feature artworks of well-known artists like Hernando Ocampo, Lee Aguinaldo, Prudencio Lamarroza, Manny Baldemor, Juvenal Sanso, Jonahmar Salvoza, Heber Bartolome, Manny Garibay to name a few as well as contemporary and young artists.

A week-long preview with Silent Auction shall be held from February 21 to 25, 2011, Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at No. 43 Hillside Loop, Blue Ridge A, Katipunan Ave., Quezon City; while the Art Auction shall be on February 26, 2011, Saturday, 6 p.m. also at the aforementioned address.
