BUZZ BEAT MEDIA

Fundacion Sanso is thrilled to announce the return of Art in The Garden on May 4, 2024. This casual mini-fair celebrates creativity, featuring original artwork, prints, and art merchandise—all with the added bonus that 100% of sales go directly to the artists.

The mini-fair takes place in the serene surroundings of Fundacion Sanso’s garden, this laid-back summer art fair offers the perfect opportunity to shop for unique pieces, meet talented artists and printmakers, and enjoy snacks and drinks while making new friends.

Featured Artists, Workshops, and Printmaking Demos

This year’s event coincides with Print Day in May, a global celebration of printmaking. To mark the occasion, Fundacion Sanso has curated a series of free workshops and demos led by skilled artist-printmakers.

Starting at 1pm, artist Anton Villaruel will conduct a relief printmaking demo of rubber cut and collagraph techniques. Following that, Hanan Initiative will lead a workshop focusing on the basics of printmaking using Inday Cadapan woodblocks.

Guests are encouraged to bring their own items to print on, such as shirts, bags, or paper, with a nominal donation supporting Fundacion Sanso’s scholarships and grants fund. It’s an accessible way to own an Inday Cadapan artwork. Last but not least is Hannah Nantes’s carborundum collagraph print technique demo using Cranfield Inks and the Limbag Kamay press.

Browse artworks, merchandise, and books from Imao Studios, Everything’s Fine, Tet & Maggie, Rigmat art collective from Naga, FEU-IARFA students & alumni, Marz Today, and Fundacion Sanso museum shop & staff.

Ongoing shows at Fundacion Sanso

Art in the Garden is also a great opportunity to catch the last day of two exhibitions happening in the museum namely: “CABINETS OF CURIOSITIES!” featuring FEU-IARFA Fine Arts Students’ trompe-l’oeil works and National Artist Abdulmari Imao’s calligraphic works, sketches, photographs, and sculpture at “ABDULMARI IMAO: ALAGAD NG SINING, TAU SŪG”.

Art in the Garden 2024 will take place at Fundacion Sanso, located at 32 V. Cruz Street, San Juan, from 10 am to 6 pm on May 4, 2024. Admission is free.
