The Iloilo Museum of Contemporary Arts marks its 2nd anniversary with a series of events and promos.

The Iloilo Museum of Contemporary Art, the first museum in the Visayas region dedicated to modern and contemporary art, is celebrating two years of promoting Filipino contemporary art, helping artists and engaging with the community.

Building on its goal of promoting artistic expression and spurring social discussions, ILOMOCA celebrates its continuous efforts in encouraging art education, artist collaboration and community engagement through exhibitions and public programs for the past two years.

For its month-long anniversary celebration, ILOMOCA will be staging a series of events in line with its goals of being a platform for constructing ideas and engaging conversations through art.

New Exhibits and Artist Talks
