Running from August 25 to 31, 2025, the exhibition brings together rarely seen and widely celebrated works by some of the Philippines’ National Artists for Visual Arts. The exhibit is curated by Ricky Francisco, Director of Fundacion Sansó.
Visitors will encounter pieces that have shaped the nation’s visual history—some coming from private collections and artist estates, and others being shown publicly for the first time. Among the artists featured are Benedicto Cabrera, Arturo Luz, Jerry Elizalde Navarro, Vicente Manansala, Carlos “Botong” Francisco, and Victorio Edades.
