With over 40 artists (hover over images for artist credits) contributing to this effort, the project not only hopes to bring art and healing together, but to also raise funds for the Philippine art community’s medical needs.

The exhibition will run from July 11 to 30, 2022 at Art Lounge Manila (The Podium, Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong). The opening reception will be on July 14, 2022 at 6:00 PM.
