The Filipino Artists Role

&
Their Contributions to
Contemporary Arts
 FILIPINO artists play a role in presenting and
educating the public about our history and identity.
Many artists are doing work, artist collectives are
thriving, and the market is strong. The discourse is
higher. One of the aims of PCAN is to consolidate and
harness the resources
of Philippine contemporary art.”
 Artists create a sense of community There are
many roles that an artist fills. But, in smaller cities,
having local artists brings a sense of pride to the
community. It also sets examples for young people
who might be considering careers in the arts. Artists
support their communities by teaching their art and
craft.
