The Asian Cultural Council (ACC) auction, in partnership with Leon Gallery, is back for another year.
A total of 140 pieces across different art categories, like painting and sculpture, will be included in the benefit event, including "Evening in Shanghai" and "People Power" by Jose Joya, the first Filipino ACC grantee for visual and arts.
It will also include works of Juan Luna, Pacita Abad, Anita Magsaysay-Ho, Hernando R. Ocampo, Lee Aguinaldo, and more.
Like the previous years, the 2025 auction will directly support the ACC Philippine Fellowship Program.
"We are profoundly grateful for the generous help and unwavering support of artists and collectors, whose contributions through the years have been vital to the success of our mission," ACC Chairman Ernest Escaler said.
ACC and Leon Gallery have been working together for the past 10 years.
"This 2025, we are in high spirits as we celebrate an important milestone," Leon Gallery Director Jaime Ponce de Leon said. "Collaborating with the ACC in their pursuit of granting numerous talented Filipino artists the opportunity to spread their creative wings abroad has always been our utmost privilege."
The auction is happening on February 22 at 2 p.m. on the ground floor of Eurovilla 1, Legazpi Village, Makati City.
