Seven visual artists emerged as victors among over 400 artists who joined the 2023 Metrobank Art & Design Excellence (MADE) organized by the Metrobank Foundation Inc. (MBFI), paving the way for them to further boost their careers in the arts.
Taking off from the theme “Connect: Stronger Ties, Bolder Strides,” this year’s competition invited young artists nationwide to take the leap of faith and seize new opportunities that come along their way for them to unlock their full potential. This year’s theme also speaks of the transformative power of creative collaborations, and how art can create linkages and transcend boundaries.
Two were adjudged as Grand Awardees for the Painting Recognition Program and will receive P350,000 worth of cash incentive. On top of this is P150,000 worth of scholarship at the Linangan Art Residency, as part of the Foundation’s support for their artistic development. Another three artists for the Painting Recognition Program bagged the Special Citation with P100,000 in cash prize each.
This year’s Final Board of Judges was chaired by artist, educator, and consultant Sandra Palomar and co-chaired by Qube Gallery founder Maris Holopainen. Members of the Board include visual artist and sculptor Kublai Millan, painter Golda King, visual artist Raffy Napay, sculptor Richard Buxani and curator and educator Laya Boquiren-Gonzales.
Thanks to venue partner Metropolitan Museum of Manila, MADE’s exhibit of winning works from the competition is now back onsite after holding it virtually for two years due to the pandemic.
