Since 1983, ARKAIRA has served as the only performing arts organization of the UP College of Architecture (UPCA). The organization is a haven for creative minds to explore and refine their skills in not only the visual arts, but also in music, dance and theater.
UP ARKAIRA will once again celebrate its founding through an annual week-long celebration called Carovana, an Arts and Food Festival. It will feature live performances from local bands, live art, and talks about art and creativity. This year, it will take place from February 21 to 24, 2017. Within those days, ARKAIRA will hold the following activities:
