To further strengthen its
linkages and cooperation with local organizations in the regions, the
Cultural Center of the Philippines through its Cultural Exchange
Department launched the ten (10) pilot sites of Kaisa sa Sining: the
CCP Regional Art Centers and University Art Associates with the signing
of a three-year Memorandum of Understanding last January 24, 2014 at the
CCP.
Around the country, there
are several educational institutions and local organizations who already
have existing structures, programs and facilities that can very well
support and sustain various arts and cultural events and activities. As
such, the CCP would like to fortify a dynamic partnership with prominent
educational institutions, non-government organizations and local
government units in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
The specific goal of Kaisa
sa Sining is to broaden public participation in the arts, promote and
showcase artistic excellence and facilitate a dynamic collaboration
between the CCP and among the regional centers and universities. The key
areas of the said partnership includes training & apprenticeship,
touring & move-over productions, sharing of relevant cultural
resource materials, access to arts & cultural information, venues
& facilities; and participation in major cultural events.
The ten pilot
sites/organizations include the following: LUZON (St. Louis University,
Baguio; City Government of Batangas; Barasoain Kalinangan Foundation
Inc., Bulacan; Heritage City of Vigan, Ilocos Sur), VISAYAS (Negros
Cultural Foundation, Bacolod; Central Philippine University, Iloilo;
Siliman University, Dumaguete), MINDANAO (Mindanao State
University-Iligan Institute of Technology, Iligan; Musikahan sa Tagum
Foundation Inc., Tagum City; Arts and Sciences Educator’s Association –
Culture and the Arts Region X (ASEACA).
