ArtInSite Magazine Launch

Last January 17, we attended the Art In Site Magazine Launch at the Ayala Museum. The Art In Site Magazine is the first magazine for and by Filipino Artists from all over the world. Over 1,700 artists from different parts of the globe contributed two pieces of their art works and were included as covers in the actual magazine.

My contributions were my digital art works entitled I Surrender and Hope Is Innocent.

The magazines with the art works as part of the covers were priced at P3,000.00 while the regular magazines, P400.00. Some of the magazines were sold in the United States.

I was not able to see the actual magazine where my art works were included, they told us that they could have been included in the batch shipped to the US. What we saw were the artworks, including mine and Jun’s works, flashed on the big screen, so i guess that should be enough proof that our contributions were indeed included.

My only gripe was that they could have at least included the pictures of the art works, even in thumbnail sizes, in the inside of the magazine. That way, even if the works were not sold, they would have still been included. And that strange and painful thought of having our contributions end up in the trash can would be eliminated. I think that would be a fitting consolation for the artists, like me, who is happy to just see my work featured in the magazine.

But that’s just me.
