Programs

Under this grant, the museum explores other means of helping in different groups in the Philippines. Most of the initiative in under this program is a collaborative effort between groups with the goal of legacy building, education, and a fundraising campaign for a community.

Through the I CArE program, Fundacion Sansó seeks to assist the family of Artists through sustainable efforts such as the creation of merchandise while managing image rights and establishing legacy-enhancing projects such as the transformation of Cadapan’s house into a museum.

Through skills and technology transfer, dialogue and goal setting, the I CArE program aspires to empower Artists’ estates to preserve and further the legacy entrusted to them.

Inspired by the works of applied arts by Juvenal Sanso, particularly how his textile designs sustained Sanso as an emerging artist, while also generating the livelihood for producers and retailers, and serendipitously in response to the government’s assertion that Art is non-essential during the lockdown, Fundacion Sanso created the Art + Design = Empowerment or ADE Exhibition Program in 2021 using the museum shop as the platform. “ADE” (a deliberate homonym of ‘aid’), focused on artists and designers using their creative skills to empower their chosen communities.

Part of the proceeds from both art and product sales go to the beneficiary group that the guest artist supports, usually the community of artisans who created the products or materials. While all artists also generously donated what they were comfortable with to Fundacion Sanso to help support the museum during the lockdown.
