The exhibit  features more than 50 of the country’s foremost names in the field of visual arts (figurative and abstract), sculpture and photography.

Seeing a lot of artists in one venue makes it a very interesting sight for art lovers and newbies like me which looks up to Pinoy artists for their works that range from the contemporary to the bizarre which plays with one's imagination.
