Negros Occidental Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson and Mayor Pedro Zayco, Jr. joined the young artists of Kabankalan City in expressing their creativity and art through painting Tuesday, February 9, to mark National Arts Month.
The National Commission for Culture and the Arts leads the national celebration that seeks to conserve, promote, and popularize Filipino artistic creations, integrate the arts in the community life, and harness the arts as catalysts for values education, a press release from the Capitol said.
The National Arts Month 2021 themed, “Alab-sining, Alay-sigla,” aims to provide opportunities for artists to harness their creative energies in uplifting the nation’s spirit, especially during this time of public health crisis.
Lacson said he is encouraging all Negrense artists to engage in different forms of art to enhance their creative skills.*
