CAMOT artists collaborate with CatSU for Art Exhibit featuring Abaca Paper as medium

The Catanduanes Artistic Minds and Outstanding Talents (CAMOT) artists, led by master artist in tissue paper, Paul Tindugan, recently met with Catanduanes State University (CatSU) President, Dr. Patrick Alain T. Azanza, to discuss staging an art exhibit featuring local artists' works. The exhibit will run from May 20 to June 15 at the CatSU Main Lobby, coinciding with the 7th Provincial Abaca Festival.

The CAMOT artists expressed their excitement about using abaca paper as their canvas and the possibility of having their artwork featured in a book that Dr. Azanza is currently working on, which also includes the Effusive Catanduanes Artistry Foundation (ECAF) artists on the island.

“This is a great opportunity to showcase the talents of our young, local artists.  The use of abaca paper as a canvas adds a unique and creative touch to their artwork, and I am more than willing to help them through a book piece feature so that it will reach more and more art enthusiasts in the country”, Dr. Azanza said.

Dr. Azanza also mentioned that featuring local artists is part of his vision of HOPE, not just for CatSU but for the whole province of Catanduanes.

The collaboration between the CAMOT artists and Dr. Azanza is expected to create a significant impact on the local art scene, particularly with the focus on using abaca paper as a medium. This exhibit will showcase the artists' creativity and contribute to the promotion and preservation of indigenous materials in art, especially since Catanduanes is the abaca capital of the country. #civ
