Calgary, 16 May 2023 – The Philippine Consulate General (PCG) in Calgary will  host an exhibit for the whole month of June 2023 featuring the artworks of several up-and-coming Filipino-Canadian artists based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The exhibit, entitled “Malaya” (Freedom), will showcase more than 20 art pieces of six artists, namely, Day Pajarilla, Audere Santos, Thea Galang, Ryle Ramirez, Gladzy Kei, and the Filipinx Kasaganaan Artist Collective of Calgary. They will feature artworks in various styles and genres expressing their ideas of “freedom.”

“We are pleased to organize this month-long event to highlight our Filipino artists in Calgary. Through this platform, we hope that their creativity will be better appreciated by the general public,” said Consul General Zaldy B. Patron.

The exhibit is part of the PCG’s celebration of the 125th Anniversary of the Proclamation of the Philippine Independence as well as the Filipino Heritage Month in Alberta and Saskatchewan this June.

This marks the second time that the PCG will host an art exhibit following the “Alaala” exhibit that it held in September to October 2022 that featured two Filipino artists from Regina, Saskatchewan.

The PCG will soon announce a registration link for those interested to visit the Malaya Exhibit.
