It was a remarkable evening at the Heritage Park, the country’s most innovative memorial park, for the unveiling of masterpieces from one of the leading art groups in the scene today – the Guevarra Group of Artists and special friends. The art exhibit was aptly entitled Images of Tranquility, as over 25 artists of different techniques and approaches were inspired to do major works by the beauty of the park – the verdant rolling terrain, lovely pocket gardens, interesting rock formations and picturesque man-made lagoons.
Hardworking Rosehills Memorial Management (Phils.) Inc. chairman and president Jack Kidwiler, Heritage Park VP for operations Emir Tubayan and VP for sales and marketing Raquel Mendoza welcomed the guests, composed of society’s crème de la crème, stylish friends Consul Helen Ong, Mabel Abano, Tereret Liboro and Nini Licaros. Even with the glamorous guest list, the stars of the night were the magnificent yet affordable paintings that took everyone’s breath away – many of the artworks were sold on the spot! Topping off the evening was a raffle of Gazebo, a major oil painting of Aldrino Abes, which was won by the very lucky Alice Briones. The exhibit runs until end of November.
I commend Heritage Park for supporting the arts!
