CCP Sining Taktakan

CCP Sining Taktakan, February 15, Friday, 9 A.M.-12 NN

Dear artists, cultural workers, students and media practitioners:

Greetings from the Cultural Center of the Philippines!

We would like to invite you once again to join the "CCP Sining
Taktakan", a public forum focusing on the topic "CREATIVE INDUSTRY:
HOW CAN ART BECOME A SOURCE OF LIVELIHOOD?" on Friday, 15 February
2008 at the CCP Little Theater Lobby from 9:00 AM to 12:00 NN.

Is art a mere source of expression or can it be a source of
livelihood for the artist at the same time without sacrificing the
integrity/cultural content of his/her artwork? This question, among
other concerns, would be the focus of the discussion. Also, we
would like to explore possibilities on how to develop a more
sustainable venture for the artists.

The CCP Sining Taktakan is a talkfest for students and art
aficionados on Pinoy art, culture and media. Each session features
a panel of experts who share their insights on the topic. After
this, these panelists entertain queries and reactions of the
audience.

The following artists confirmed participation to the event as
panelists -- Mr. Ramon Orlina (Sculptor), Mr. Rey Paz Contreras
(Sculptor), Mr. Junyee (Installation Artist), Fray Paolo Maria
(Chairman, Ibabao Arts Council of Calbayog), Ms. Alice Pañares of
the National Council for Children's Television and CCP President Mr.
Nestor O. Jardin.

As we are celebrating the Arts Month, complimentary tickets
to "Virtuosos 2008: Voices in Time" and Tanghalang Pilipino's "EJ"
will be raffled during the forum.

Moderator is Mr. Fernando "Tata Nanding" Josef, CCP Vice President
and Artistic Director.

For more details, please feel free to contact us through Media Arts
Division at tel. nos. 832-1125 loc. 1702 / 1704 and 832-5094.

Thank you very much for your support to the Filipino artists and
cultural workers!

We hope to see YOU! Admission is FREE!
