The Kabankalan City Tourism Office, in cooperation with the City Culture and Arts Council (CCAC), will hold a mural painting activity in celebration of the National Arts Month this February, Anne Zayco said today, February 8.
The mural painting will be dubbed “Pagsaulog sang Maragtas (A Celebration of Heritage).”
The activity will be conducted at the Kabankalan Cultural and Sports Center starting February 9, until Thursday, February 11. The painting will showcase the city’s major festivals – the Sinulog de Kabankalan festival and the Udyakan Festival, Zayco said.
It will serve as the backdrop of the Cultural Hub performance area. The Cultural Hub is the renovated municipal hall, she added.
The painting’s formal installation is tentatively scheduled on March 14, during the 114th commemoration of Kabankalan’s conversion into a municipality through the passage of Philippine Assembly Act 1612, Zayco said.
The Duag Kabankalanon, an association of local visual artists under the CCAC, will join the art activity, she said.*
