Planting new seeds of perception, which is the true meaning of Art
. In essence, this is the motivation that drives NEO-ANGONO Artists Collective to explore continually the process and limits of art creation and performance in Angono, Rizal where conservatism and romanticism predominantly exist.

Thus, it is not surprising to see that a week before the annual Angono fiesta celebration held on November 22 and 23, its public spaces – abandoned houses and structures, dilapidated walls, the lakeshore of Laguna de Bay, dying river, rowdy market, street signs, gymnasium and galleries – serve as staging ground for various art expressions that highlight the richness and diversity of Angono's contemporary art.



Watch sound artist Lirio Salvador and Jun Nishio, contemporary dance artist from Japan, perform during Neo-Angono's Public Art Festival.

This is done through public art presentation and events situated in satellite areas that include site-specific installations, public art performances, in-transit or moving graphic/poetry works, studio exhibitions, music-poetry fusion public film showing, and art lectures and symposium.
  By doing these things, we hope to bring art closer to the people by constricting the space separating the artwork/performer and audience/reader as well as free the artists' either irrepressible genius or imaginative eccentricities while intertwining the intellect with emotion and soul.
