EREHWON: UPLIFTING THE HUMAN SPIRIT THROUGH ART

by Raymond Roldan

The Erehwon Center for the Arts remains steadfast in its commitment to uplift the human spirit despite the onset of many trials that beset the world today. Through collaboration, camaraderie and cooperation, art in its various forms merge into a consolidated initiative to inspire, hone and propagate artistic values for the benefit of both artists and art lovers.

Reinventing itself as Quezon City’s emerging cultural center, Erehwon has transformed from being a former factory into a hub for activities that celebrate the visual arts, performing arts, music, literature and film. It moves to strengthen art as a means of communication and understanding among peoples throughout our contemporary world.

It is through Erehwon's constant support of collaboration between artists of diverse disciplines and genres that untapped sectors of our society are nourished with works of art that are readily understood by the common man.

As a "living hub" and center of the arts in the Philippines, Erehwon's devotion for the arts brings together the camaraderie of artistic energies of Filipinos and artists around the globe, offering a space which will provide a multi-sided colloquium of artists eager to advance art to a new and higher level. 

Through the spirit of cooperation, various art genres are bound together not only by the goal of finding a venue, but also making such art available to the masses- a collage of images that reflect the cultural milieu of the common man seen through the various levels of society.

Through these efforts, Erehwon continues to usher in with renewed vigor the vision that has sustained a dream of a nation: to able to recognize itself for what was, what has become and what promises to be, a uniquely Filipino cultural identity that remains distinct and indomitable in the midst of the turmoil that beset the first quarter of the twenty-first century.
