N line with its vision of making art matter in the life of
every Filipino, the Cultural Center of the Philippines
(CCP) through its outreach program brings special
performances to various government and public work
places from April to June 2018.
Billed as “Art in the Workplace” (AIWP) (Sining sa
Tanggapan), the project is also intended to advocate
the vital role that art plays in national and community
development. The one hour program will showcase
the artistic excellence of the Filipino artists along with
the in-house talents (from the organizations and communities
that will be visited) who will be presented as a living proof that
art exists and flourishes in various workplaces and contributes
to the enhancement of the work environment. The perfor-
mance will be complemented with an interaction between
the artists and the audience to discuss the insights about the
performance and its role in everyday life.
