NCCA Gallery Open Call for 2020 Exhibition Proposals At the heart of its base of operations in Intramuros, the National Commission for Culture and Arts (NCCA...) further fulfills its service to the Filipino Visual Arts community by opening its exhibition space known as the NCCA Gallery at the lobby of the NCCA Building in 2009. This was in response to the demands of the vastly burgeoning contemporary art scene in the Philippines. Dedicated to contemporary arts, the NCCA Gallery is a joint initiative of the National Committee on Art Galleries (NCAG) under the Subcommission on Cultural Heritage and the National Committee on Visual Arts (NCVA) under the Subcommission on the Arts. Through the gallery, both the NCAG and the NCVA aim to provide young and emerging artists a venue for exposure without curtailing creative exploration and expression. Likewise, established artists will have the opportunity to share their conceptual narratives to the audience and encourage engagements in the arts. Eligibility 1.
