That the show is opening on the birthday of Jose Rizal might seem just a happy accident, but since the exhibition chair is Dr. Joven Cuanang, the esteemed doctor and art patron, an admirer of our national hero’s convictions (his café in Pinto Art Museum in Antipolo is called Café Rizal), we’re guessing the event was especially intended to happen on that date. The show, however, will run up to June 24.

As Dr. Cuanang told us over lunch late last week, each artist produced a new work especially for this show. Which just goes to prove how beloved the guy is in the local art universe.
