IN honoring the artistic excellence and acclaiming the uniqueness and diversity of Filipino heritage and culture, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) will spearhead the celebration of National Arts Month (NAM) 2024 this February.

Bannering the theme "Ani ng Sining, Bayang Malikhain," NAM 2024 aims to outline the notion that the bountiful harvest of a Filipino creative nation is derived from collective human imagination, not just individual aspirations.

This year's National Arts Month celebration aspires to channel the creative energies of artists toward nation-building, synergizing the arts into the lives of diverse populations and communities and stimulating critical discourse, awareness and appreciation.

The celebration is mainly composed of the flagship projects of the Subcommission on the Arts.

The opening ceremony of NAM 2024 will be on February 23 at Rizal High School in Pasig City. This event strategically targets the youth population of 14,000 high school students and strives to fervently uphold the objectives of NAM to conserve, promote and popularize Filipino artistic creations.

An art fair in partnership with Lusong Luzon Arts and Culture Network Inc., Artist Inc. and Provincial Government of Laguna will be held at Laguna Sports Complex on February 29 from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

"Ani ng Dangal" Awards or Harvest of Honors Awards is an annual event serving as the pinnacle and culmination of the NAM. This year's Ani ng Dangal Awards will be held on Feb. 29, 2024, at the Malacañang Palace.
