About MoMFA
MoMFA begins with a dream and the land on which to build it. To stand proudly on a ridge of historic Mount Samat in Bataan, it aims to showcase the best of modern and contemporary Filipino art and to instill in future generations an abiding love and pride in their cultural heritage. Aside from the structures that will preserve and display the art collections, activities such as exhibits, competitions and workshops are being designed for the MoMFA vision to come to fruition. In all of this, we acknowledge with gratitude that man’s innermost aspirations and his very capacity for artistic expression emanate from the Divine Creator Himself.
Art Competition
To truly capture the pulse of Filipino contemporary art at the grassroots and encourage a continuing culture of excellence, a series of revolving art competitions will be held in the major Philippine regions of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Designed to be inclusive and dynamic, the competitions will be open to students and professionals alike, striving to keep the choices of medium and style as open as possible. To house and highlight the best of visual creations by artists in both urban and rural contexts, MoMFA will continuously strive to be a true museum of and for its People.
