RestART: A CELEBRATION OF HOPE is a group exhibition of twenty-five (25) Filipino visual artists. It is currently on view until 14 May 2023 at ArtistSpace located at Ground Level, Ayala Museum Annex, Makati Avenue corner De La Rosa Street, Greenbelt Park, Makati City.
The ARTitude Group of Artists was created out of a desire to showcase the artistic talents of a diverse mix of individuals, which include professionals, retirees, homemakers, hobbyists, as well as professional, and aspiring artists.
Throughout the pandemic, the group has been directly or indirectly impacted by COVID-19.
As the pandemic heads to its longed-for end, they wish to express their desire for brighter days ahead after a period of uncertainty and sheltering – hence, this exhibition is a celebration of hope.
The exhibition features faces, places, still life, dreamlike scenes, and whimsical fantasies, mostly touched by blooms springing from hope and optimism.
The twenty-five (25) participating artists are: Anara Noelle Chiongbian, Angela Amor, Annabella Wisniewski, Annette Aguado, Arianna Quintal, Audrey Sin, Isabel Campa, Chiqui Lizada, Clara Mortensen, Daisy Carlos, Esther Leynes, Gigit Sales, Joanna Hirsch, Kathy Garrido, Lourdes Delgado, Marinette Ortigas, Maryrose Gisbert, Mildred Garrido, Nida Cranbourne, Ottilia Taus, Patricia Tan, Pit Montinola, Rene V. Canlas, Rhea Jai Fernandez, and Ysa Gernale.
