  • Pintô Art opens permanent showroom in Manhattan, NY
  • After a successful exhibit held May this year in New York featuring 30 Filipino artists, Pintô Art is once again opening a huge door for Filipino artists that leads to global recognition—and this time, the door is open for good.

    On December 1, Pintô International, the international arm of Pintô Art Museum in Antipolo, officially opened its permanent showroom located at 431 East 12th Street in Manhattan’s East Village through an inaugural exhibit.

    The exhibit is entitled “Bukás” (a Filipino word that means “to open”) which symbolizes the opening of doors (pintô in Filipino) that will serve as a gateway for Eastern and Western countries to nurture awareness and mutual understanding in the world of art and culture. Bukás is showcasing works by different Filipino contemporary artists like Reynaldo Samson, Manuel Ocampo, and Jana Benitez.

    This milestone in Filipino artistry has been made possible because of one man’s confidence and support of local art. “I feel our artists are definitely more international in approach and very anchored in their culture,” Dr. Joven Cuanang, the man behind Pintô Art Museum, shared with Town & Country Philippines.

    The opening of the permanent showroom is said to have gained the support of Philippine art connoisseur Dedes Zobel, American fashion designer Josie Natori, and the Rockefeller family.
