stART Hope
is the first ever benefit art exhibit curated purely by homeschooled
students in the Philippines. About fifty homeschooling students
grades 4 to 8 have united their efforts in the pursuit for hope,
peace and change for the sake of the next generation.
THE HOMESCHOOLERS
Homeschool @ Alabang and
Homeschool @ Valle Verde are the expanded communities of the
original Homeschool @ The Fort, an
organized community of homeschoolers that provide fun and engaging
classes for homeschoolers. It is the place to go to if you want to
join a playgroup, co-op, or a homeschooling support group.
For three years
now, it held its Communication and Collaboration class
(formerly called Projects and Presentations) with a thrust of
supplementing the learning experiences of homeschooling independent
learners by giving them an avenue to work in different group/class
settings.
The for-a-cause event is one of the
collaborated projects of the class’ SY 2016-2017 students through
the direction and inspiration of their teachers, which are both
co-owners of education-travel blog, School in a Backpack.
THE CAUSE
The homeschoolers,
in coordination with Wishes of Aid and Limbs for Kids (WALK), Inc., a
non-stock, non-profit organization, and one of the projects of Rotary
Club of Makati Forbes Park District 3830, aims to spark hope for our
exhibit's main beneficiary, Nice So, along with the children of WALK
Inc.
THE ARTISTS
Nice So, a lupus patient who
discovered her innate artistic talent while in the hospital just
about the same time she was informed about her medical condition, has
been painting and selling her artworks since she was in grade school
to pay for her medical necessities as well as help other kids with
lupus and other incurable diseases.
Contemporary artist
Niño Hernandez, and professional calligraphist Ginger de Guia, both
art teachers in the homeschool community, supported the student
project and its cause by collaborating their artworks for the
exhibit.
Homeschooled until
her senior high year, and now incoming college student pursuing arts
management, Waby Liberia will be officially launched into the arts
industry through the exhibit.
THE EXHIBIT
stART Hope will greet
the New Year with youthful expectations at the exhibit launch on
January 7, 2017 at the Kanto Artist-Run Space, 2nd Floor, Makati
Cinema Square, Makati. Program starts at 3PM. Featured artists,
seasoned performers, homeschool talents and more will be part of the
exhibition launch program.
The exhibit will run all the way until
January 26, 2017, will be held. It is open to accepting artworks with
the theme “hope” on a 16x16 mounted canvass from all
homeschooling students in the Philippines.
