Bacolod Arts, Cultural Heritage Inc. (BACHI) marked a significant cultural moment with the formal launch of three visual artists, a symbolic introduction of their creative voices to the public.
The occasion bridged the private world of solitary creation with the wider embrace of community recognition, as each artist aligned their personal narrative with the collective spirit of Bacolod’s lively art scene, a press release from BACHI said Monday, Oct. 19.
The launch introduced Boy Dela Peña, a visual storyteller and photographer; Isabel Sola, an interior designer and painter; and Daniel Yulo, a young emerging talent.
Their debut coincided with the 47th MassKara Festival, where BACHI, in collaboration with The UpperEast, Megaworld, staged a multifaceted exhibition entitled Fête.
The show unfolded in three dimensions: Nawong, a celebration of people, culture and everyday life through watercolor and acrylic; Verdant Vision, where nature itself became art and every leaf told a story; and Captured Happiness, a photographic journey that froze fleeting moments of joy, from the stillness of landscapes to the energy of bustling markets and the candid smiles of the MassKara celebration.
The event drew Councilor Wilson Gamboa, Solomon Locsin, Grace Ordoyo, Marc Pijuan and Buglas Carreon, who joined the artists and community in honoring Bacolod’s creative spirit.
Staged at The UpperEast Glass Tent, the evening was a colorful and festive showcase of art, nature and local imagination, bringing added brilliance to the city’s celebratory season.*
