Greetings from the Asian Cultural Council Philippines!
We invite you to our Art Auction which starts at 4PM on February 4, Saturday at the Finale Art File, La Fuerza Compound, 2214 Pasong Tamo, Makati. Previews begin on Thursday, Feb. 2, 2012.
Bringing to fore their unwavering faith on Filipino artists, some of the most notable art galleries in Manila unite for this year’s benefit auction of the Asian Cultural Council (ACC) Philippines Foundation, Inc.
The event gathers art works of Filipino masters and top contemporary artists courtesy of the following ACC gallery partners: Artis Corpus Art Gallery, Art Verite, Big Gallery, Boston Gallery, Crucible Gallery, Finale Art File, Galleria Duemila , Galerie Joaquin, Kingkong Art Projects Unlimited, Liongoren Gallery, Mag:Net Gallery, Manila Contemporary, Pinto Gallery, Silverlens Gallery, Sining Kamalig, The Drawing Room Gallery and Tin-Aw Gallery. Also joining the ACC fundraising are works of highly-regarded and award-winning individual visual artists who have been supporting ACC Philippines for many years.
Since the establishment of the Philippine Fellowship Program in 2000, the ACC Philippines together with ACC New York Foundation, has been raising funds and providing grants to over 60 Filipino artists of various disciplines. In the last two years, grants were given to 9 Filipino artists in the field of visual arts, museology, enthomusicology, theater, and music. Through your valuable support in this Auction, we hope to help more Filipino artists!
Sending some photos of art works that we will be on auction. The complete list will be on-line with prices and specs by January 28 at www.asianculturalcouncil.org. Please find attached the invitation with the list of artists participating. The list is still growing!
Thank you very much for your support!

Day 1 is tour day. Dad and Mom make sure we are cultured 
and get to learn about the new places we visit. Since we were a big group of 19, it’s easier and better to get your own small bus and tour guide. This is what we used as recommended by the hotel
Our tour guide
There are 5 palaces in Seoul and my sister chose this palace as it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is known for it’s beautiful back garden which we did not get to see. I wish we had more time to see that.
It’s also our bonding time because shopping days we are mostly on our own

I just googled for photos of the garden ( Click on each photo for the source )
This palace is the main palace and friends recommended this as well, but we were not able to visit it during this trip
We finally had the chance to pass by Patrick’s gallery which we have been wanting to see 
We were lucky to catch Patrick there a little before closing. He showed us around

Last October 20, Thursday, was the Francisfest Charity Auction organized by Tito Joey Soriano, President of the Parish Pastoral Council of the Sanctuario de San Antonio Parish Church. His goal was to raise P 11m and by that evening he was already halfway without even selling yet all the auction items.
