SNEAK PEAK: 2012

SNEAK PEAK: 2012

03 AUG 2012 - 13 AUG 2012

As the Ateneo Art Awards gears up for a milestone, the ninth year takes the theme “Sneak Peak”. This anticipatory stance as we approach a peak in the history of the awards, serves not as a statement of fact but a call for introspection. The contemporary Philippine art scene is as dynamic as ever and the world is taking notice. With the dazzle of recognition, we are called back to the core to reminisce, to hope and to work anew.
