This groundbreaking event promises a transformative experience, inviting visitors to delve into the depths of human spirit, resilience, and empowerment through a multi-sensory exploration of creativity.

"Ready. Get Grit." transcends the traditional art exhibit, offering a powerful tool for personal healing and empowerment. It's not merely about creating beauty but harnessing creativity to foster resilience and strength. The exhibition features 40 pieces from 14 emerging artists, mentored by 6 experienced PH Masters, each work reflecting the artist's personal battle and triumph. Through diverse artistic forms—from abstract paintings to tactile sculptures—the exhibit aims to convey deeply emotional and intimate stories, providing a window into the artists' journeys of growth, recovery, and transformation.

The multi-sensory nature of the exhibit encourages a deeper engagement with the art. Visitors are invited to hear the sculpted stories, taste the colors, feel the hues, and smell the essence of empowerment. This immersive approach allows viewers to not only observe the art but to actively participate in the healing process that unfolds with each piece.

A Glimpse into the Sensory Journey:

Hear the Sculpted Stories of Overcoming Adversity:

Artists such as Jeff Dahilan, Mari Zhar, and La Gemina breathe life into their works, capturing the essence of resilience through a symphony of emotions. Each narrative pulses through you, allowing you to hear the sculpted stories of overcoming life's hardest obstacles and finding strength in the face of adversity.

Jeff Dahilan, a self-taught artist from Pangil, Laguna, presents "Finding Clarity in the Mess" through mosaic design and abstract painting. His work, often utilizing triangles, reflects on finding meaning in chaotic and messy times, transforming personal challenges into visually striking art.

Mari Zhar, a modern abstract expressionist with sculptural integration, focuses on "Overcoming Adversity in the Face of Struggles." Her creative journey, rooted in personal experiences of loss and healing, aims to inspire transformation and connection through art.

La Gemina (Lorraine Gemina), a contemporary visual artist, explores "Embracing Faith, Purpose, and Transformation" through sculptural relief pieces combining richly textured materials. Her art aims to move viewers to sense God's grace and nearness, transforming the unseen into the beautifully tangible.
