Support

The museum, which is part of the De La Salle – College of Saint Benilde, is a not-for-profit institution that delivers programming and content that encourages engagement with art and culture, its practice and production, as well as its presentation and interpretation. By fostering partnerships with a range of arts and cultural institutions, MCAD’s programming advance rapidly. Aware of its contribution to local art making and its expanding role in the region, MCAD remains reflexive and responsive to changes in society, politics and the production of ideas.

Moving Forward
Having established a distinct identity and developed a regional presence, the Museum must continue to evolve and develop its programming to create an innovative and inclusionary paradigm where “free access for all” addresses not only a cross-section of social classes, but also of knowledges.

Fundraising Campaigns
Our ambitious future is dependent on the transformative role of support from our closest advocates. MCAD is seeking support to fund and develop the following areas:

Conference – A yearly conference responsive to, and reflective of, the currents of global contemporary art and culture and the discourses that surround it.
Research – The museum plans to be a foundational base to support postgraduate research (at MA or PhD level) in the history and production of local, Filipino design and material culture.
Publication – The museum’s aim is to establish an in-house publishing arm and specialize in producing monographs of contemporary Filipino artists.
Residencies – Running biannually for both Filipino and International artists, the Residencies will aim to nurture and develop the work of mid-career artists by providing a space for the exploration of new work/ideas and/or progression of a current work.
Mentoring – To support the continued integration and development of the College of Saint Benilde and MCAD, a mentoring programme will run as a conduit for professional artists or designers from local, regional or international fields to work directly with exceptional Benilde students or alumni.
