Arts and Development

The Museum's program framework emphasizes the role of the arts in development.

Development is about changes in people's views and ways of life. Such changes involve culture. The arts are powerful forces in the field of culture. The arts are effective agents for development.

We believe that National Development is NOT possible if the arts are ignored.

Our show's themes will help explain how the arts contribute to national development:
  • Arts and Community Identity
  • The Arts, Product Design, and Livelihood Generation
  • The Arts and City Planning
  • Creative Industries
  • And many more

THE TUBURAN PROJECT
As a result of the Tubod exhibit on the arts of Bohol, the Museum has set-up a partnership with the town of Loboc. Among the slated activities are culture resources, planning workshops centered on the revitalization of the Loboc Church Convento as a cultural center.

CALENDA
This commissioned show on display at the Loboc Church Convento deals with the development of Loboc's musical traditions in the context of Bohol. It represents the Loboc Cantorales as links to a continuing Hispanic musical tradition in the Philippines.

2009 marks the 70th anniversary of the 1939 Golden Gate Exposition in San Francisco, USA. This competition was sponsored by IBM and 79 countries were represented. "After the Day's Toil" painted by Vicente Alvarez Dizon was
the Philippine entry and it won First Place. Salvador Dali of Spain won only second place, while Robert Philip of the USA came in as
third place. I'd like to request if the MET could exhibit the works of the late artist Vicente Alvarez Dizon this November to commemorate this historic event which has been forgotten all these years. thanks
