In May 2021, painter and hip-hop artist Jhomar Lim created a Facebook group called ACE (Artists, Collectors and Enthusiasts) for Art, which now has 20,000 followers. ACE, a dynamic group whose members may be diverse in many aspects but are united in the love for the arts, is mounting a group show, “embarking on a journey of colors, textures and strokes,” and letting their art speak to people’s hearts, minds and souls.
ARTablado Robinsons Antipolo, which has previously hosted artists from the Rizal area is hosting 37 artists from ACE of Art Organization Inc. from all over the country: Tanay, Baras, Antipolo, Albay, Santiago, Cebu, Valencia, Bukidnon, Camiguin, and other areas of Mindanao.
