2nd Dumaguete Open Biennial Terra Cotta Art Festival Exhibit & Competition

The 2nd Dumaguete Open Biennial Terra Cotta
Art Festival Exhibit and Competition

Negros Island possesses large clay deposits traditionally used for the manufacture and sale of utilitarian terra cotta pots and implements, and more recently as a medium for local visual artists.

It is in this context that the First Open Dumaguete Biennial Terra Cotta Art Festival Exhibit and Competition in 2005 was organized and it is in this same vein that the 2nd Open Dumaguete Biennial Terracotta Art Festival Exhibit and Competition 2007 will take off; to consider both the livelihood potential of such a resource, and the importance of this traditional medium as used by artists who seek to find contemporaneity through the natural potential of this medium.
