The National Committee on Visual Arts (NCVA) of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) launches Phase Two of “Sining Ugnayan”: The Philippine Visual Artists' Directory project. This committee initiated project was initiated for the year 2009-2010 to come up with a directory of Filipino visual artists and artists’ group. On its second phase, the project aims to collect more data pertinent to the creation of a comprehensive visual artists’ directory gather from four research areas namely, the National Capital region, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
Professional and practicing visual artists include those involved in painting utilizing the traditional media or mixed media, illustration, graphic design, digital media, animation, sculpture, installation, photography, printmaking and other related visual arts field including the art groups and organizations of visual artists involved in such fields.
The project will be conducted by a lead researcher with a team of coordinators and a photo documenter. The lead researchers who are also the project proponents of the respective research areas are Mary Ann Mendoza-Uy for the National Capital Region, Nemi Miranda for Luzon, Dennis Montera for the Visayas, and Kelly Palaganas for Mindanao.
The project will be undertaken in a six-month period from January 2010 to June 2010. This research project will be conducted in two three-month stages with January to March as the first stage and April to June as the second stage. Visual artists and leaders of visual arts groups and/or organizations are expected to sign up or register before the end of March 2010.
As a final output this research in a directory form will become part of the NCCA’s official listing of visual artists in the Philippines.
