Call for Artworks: Likhang Hiraya Art Auction

In celebration of National Arts Month this February, we are launching Likhang Hiraya, a fundraising event series that showcases Filipino talent in the visual, literary, and performing arts. In collaboration with select artists and artist groups, we will be holding weekend activities that aim to raise funds that will help ensure learning continues for our public school students in our partner communities.
