FROM theater performers, painters, filmmakers, writers, actors, musicians, to photographers, bloggers, make-up artists and digital artists, the organization founded by artists and made for artists dubbed The ArtisTryst, chooses no age, experience or discipline of art in acquiring creative talents.
The ArtisTryst, with a play of words from “artistry” and “tryst,” means a rendezvous of both developing and professional artists with a goal to provide an avenue to showcase their art with ease, away from any form of prejudice which may hinder their growth as a creative.
Though the organization is confined to sharing its works of art in social network groups, the amount of appreciation it gets, inspiration it gives and expression it allows for the artists are still unwavering.
As the month of October celebrates breast cancer awareness, advocates from all walks of life come together to contribute to raising funds for breast cancer patients all over the country.
The Pink Tent is a pre-Christmas bazaar held to create public awareness about breast cancer and the early detection of the disease. It will be held at Oakridge Pavilion on Oct. 22. The event is organized by ICanServe Foundation, a non-profit foundation based in the Philippines which advocates for early breast cancer detection through high impact information campaigns and community-based screening programs.
During the Pink Tent event, #Dughan, an art exhibition by members of the organization The ArtisTryst, will showcase visual, digital and photography arts that all have their own interpretation of the theme focusing mainly on the breast cancer awareness movement.
#Dughan is in partnership with Gold Mine Residences and Heritage Supreme Land Developers, whose owners also actively support the arts and thriving artists. Ten percent of proceeds through artworks sold during the #Dughan exhibition will be given to the ICanServe Foundation which will be used to provide free mammogram to indigent women through the Eduardo J. Aboitiz Cancer Center.
“We wanted the artworks to have a sense of social responsibility, and not just to present artworks for the sake of selling,” says ArtisTrsyt co-founder Mikki Roque. (Contributed by Stacey Baladya)
