The exhibition highlights how printmaking can be
expanded through the exploration of various creative
methods and, hopefully, encourages discussions on
the significance of the medium in contemporary art
practice.
Formerly known as the Philippine Association of

Printmakers, AP is the CCP’s artist-in-residence group
for the visual arts. The group has been founded in
1968 at their first studio-workshop at the Philippine
Women’s University, through the initiative of artist
Manuel Rodriguez Sr., along with its first board
members Ivi Avellana, Mila Enage, Lamberto
Hechanova, Imelda Nakpil, and Adiel Arevalo, who
became its first president.
In 1972, the group moved to Jorge Bocobo St., Ermita,

after raising funds for the construction of a new
studio. Through the years, the printmaker group
transferred from studio to studio until they finally
found a home at the back of the Tanghalang Francisco
Balagtas (Folk Arts Theater) in the CCP Complex in 3x3 basketball, NBA-themed

Members of the Association of Pinoy printmakers.
Through the years, AP has been on top of promoting

the art of printmaking in the Philippines, offering
workshops on the different techniques of printmaking,
not just in their studio, but also in the regions.
Every year, AP holds annual shows at the CCP, as well

as exhibitions in different galleries and art spaces here
and abroad. The group also organizes “Art by the Bay,”
an open house event where visitors can chat with the
printmakers, participate in printmaking demos, buy
artworks, and join print raffles while enjoying good
wine and the excellent view of Manila Bay.
