The Alcove Photo Gallery: Call For Exhibit Proposals 2012

The Alcove, photography nook of the Filipinas Heritage Library, invites all photographers and camera clubs interested in displaying their artworks to exhibit at the library’s pocket gallery.

The Alcove’s first exhibit, featuring photographs of Philippine churches from the library’s own Retrato collection, was launched during March 7, 2000. Since then, we have featured the works of Mark Gary, Denise Weldon, Nico Sepe, Butch Baluyut, Dennis Balangue, Joel Bondoc, Lester Ledesma, Erik Lacson, Rey Castañeda, and Atom Magadia to name a few. Twelve years later, The Alcove continues to be a preferred exhibition venue by amateur and professional photographers alike.

FHL is a home of Philippine culture. Each month, hundreds of Filipinos and foreigners frequent the library to read books, study documents, appreciate music, join workshops, and attend special events from meetings to parties. These visitors, who appreciate fine art and literature, serve as a captive audience for your photographs, which will be displayed at the library’s ground floor gallery.

Applicants should submit their proposal letter, photographer’s resume, and select sample works to the Filipinas Heritage Library, Makati Avenue, Ayala Triangle, Makati City. Preferred exhibition schedule, proposed exhibit concept, and relevant contact information must also be included. Proposals may also be emailed to cruz.ct@ayalafoundation.org.

Those interested may also call 892-1801, text 0917-5594417, or email cruz.ct@ayalafoundation.org for more details. Guidelines for exhibiting at The Alcove will be sent upon request.

I Am Ninoy Exhibit @ Alcove Photo Gallery

I AM NINOY
An Exhibit Commemorating the 25th Anniversary
of Benigno S. Aquino Jr.’s Martyrdom
August 19 to 28
The Alcove photo gallery

Benigno S. Aquino Jr., the man Filipinos remember fondly as “Ninoy,” was born in Concepcion, Tarlac, on October 27, 1932.

Ninoy was a leading opponent of President Ferdinand Marcos. He was the man who would have been president if Marcos had not declared Martial Law and forced Ninoy into exile. But when Ninoy returned to Manila after living in the United States, he was assassinated at the Manila International Airport.

Ninoy's death on August 21, 1983, struck a chord in the consciousness of the oppressed Filipinos, leaving them with a resounding thirst for freedom. His death was one of the pivotal events that led to the People Power Revolution of 1986.

Know more about Ninoy and the values he upheld through a display of photographs at The Alcove photo gallery. The exhibit can be viewed from Tuesday to Saturday at 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
