Live Mural Supported by Raw Materials!
This year's PAN Pavilion will include a mural project led by the Beatrock Artists Kollective. The Kollective loosely formed in 2009 when a group of friends noticed that they have been live painting at the same gigs, showcasing at the same galleries, and slamming shots from the same liquor bottle. Some of the members participating are David Araquel, Stuter, Manila Ryce, Mark Canto, Christ Santos, Anthony Montemar and Alfie Numeric. The Kollective will paint a mural during the FPAC weekend, dedicated to the 2010 theme- "Katibukan: One heartbeat. Shared Being." They will also facilitate a separate community mural that any festival-goer can contribute to.
A special thanks goes out to Raw Materials in Downtown Los Angeles! Raw Materials has donated $200 in credit at their store for the Beatrock Artists Kollective to purchase materials for the FPAC mural project. Check out the Raw Materials ad in the FPAC program, they are extending a 15% discount on digital printing and custom framing for customers who mention "FilAm ARTS," and 10% off merchandise on their online store (Enter code "FPAC2010" for discount).

Taste of FPAC Event Kickoff
Buy your tickets below via PayPal!
FilAm ARTS is equal parts excited and proud to announce renowned chef Andre Guerrero as host, and his popular acclaimed restaurant, The Oinkster as host venue for our "Taste of FPAC" Filipino foodie event Thursday, Sept. 9 @ 2005 Colorado Blvd., Eagle Rock.
Doors open @ 6 p.m.
The event, which benefits and kicks-off the 19th Annual Festival of Philippine Arts and Culture, uniquely pairs two leading elements of the contemporary Filipino American food movement, in an historic evening spotlighting two distinct takes on comfort food -- with a Pinoy twist -- made in Los Angeles.
The Oinkster, lauded by and featured on Food Network and named one of "Los Angeles' 99 Top Restaurants" by Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Jonathan Gold, has been called the leading practitioner of "slow cooked fast food.” It represents the latest in a long line of successful, critically-acclaimed restaurant concepts from the multiple award-winning Guerrero, hailed by Los Angeles Times Magazine as one of the City's Top Chefs.
Chef Guerrero promises a special sample menu featuring some exclusive, off-menu items, but will certainly include his house smoked and cured Pastrami, Belgian French Fries (named "Best in LA" by LA Weekly) and the famous Oinkster Ube Milkshakes.
That alone would be enough to make mouths water, but the evening also presents a specially selected tasting menu prepared by The Manila Machine, Southern California’s first Filipino food truck and already a popular draw in the competitive world of mobile food culture.
Limited tickets for FilAm ARTS' "Taste of FPAC" are $50 which is inclusive of food and non-alcoholic drinks for the evening.
Proceeds benefit The Association for the Advancement of Filipino American Arts and Culture, also known as FilAm ARTS, a multi-disciplinary community arts organization whose mission is to advance the understanding of the arts and diverse cultural heritage of Filipinos in the United States. FilAm ARTS presents the annual Festival of Philippine Arts & Culture (FPAC). The largest showcase of its kind in Southern California, the 19th Annual FPAC takes place this year September 11-12, 2010 in San Pedro, California.

About FPAC
FilAm ARTS traces its roots to the annual Festival of Philippine Arts and Culture (FPAC) - an annual series of multidisciplinary arts events that takes place in the County of Los Angeles that includes art exhibits, literary readings, performances, and film screenings, that all culminate in a two-day festival weekend. The first Festival was held in 1992 at Los Angeles City College, as a project developed by the City of Los Angeles, in efforts to heal the city through cultural gatherings, in light of the LA Riots which occurred in April of 1992. FPAC has since moved to Cabrillo Beach, and then to Point Fermin Park (its current location) and welcomes over 25,000 attendees, 1200 artists and 400 volunteers.
