Kaida Gallery celebrates its third year anniversary with 32010 on February 14, 2010, Sunday.  It is all about art and numbers as the gallery opens its doors to the public with an impressive gathering of artists who have emerged in the Philippine art scene in the ‘80s, ‘90s and the ‘00s.  In the tradition of Kaida’s annual grand exhibitions-- 1/50 in 2008 and 2/60 in 2009, the number of artists to be showcased is increased by ten, totaling 3/70 this year.

32010 sums up Kaida Gallery’s third of a series of anniversary group shows.  Three marks the gallery’s years of commitment to the art community, twenty-ten represents the current year, and when put altogether, three multiplied by twenty with the ten added up equals seventy, or the number of artists participating in the exhibition.

From its humble beginnings in its first arts space in Kamuning Road supporting up-and-coming painters and sculptors with several notable shows, Kaida Gallery near Timog Avenue is now expanding its sphere of resident artists.  Balancing young and raw talents with award winners, mid-career practitioners and veterans of the creative industry, the landmark Kaida white tower always stands on guard for what is new, challenging and undiscovered in these diverse artists’ works.

Artists’ artworks had a uniform sized canvas of 18 in x 18 in and set a limit for sculptures not to exceed on the prescribed dimension for control of art/exhibition space and to balance all 70+ artists.

Artists who participated in this event are as follows:

Benedict ABIGAN, LJ ABLOLA, Dave ALCON, Nelson BARISTA, Levi BATARA, Bong BELLOSILLO, Malyn BONAYOG, Benjie CABANGIS, Zean CABANGIS, Emard CANEDO, Jhom CENTENO, Buddy CHING, Buds CONVOCAR, Dansoy COQUILLA, Melvin CULABA, Rene CUVOS, Thomas DAQUIOAG, Joseph DE JURAS, Anna DE LEON, Demetrio DELA CRUZ, Mity DELA PENA, Giovanni DELA ROSA, Bong DUCAT, Jonas ESLAO, Tito ESTRADA, Noell EL FAROL, Emman FAROL, Caloy GABUCO, Remar GACUTAN, Mitch GARCIA, Alee GARIBAY, William GAUDINEZ, Joe GERALDO, Melissa GONZALES, Eric GUAZON, Ryan JARA, Jemina, Ian MADRIGAL, Marc MALTO, Josue MANGROBANG, Norlie MEIMBAN, Tristram MIRAVALLES, Raffy NAPAY, Poch NAVAL, Roel OBEMIO, Jim ORENCIO, Kaye O'YEK, Vincent PADO, Lee PAJE, Anthony PALOMO, Mikky Boy PAMA, Noel PAMA SR., Sam PENASO, Mervy PUEBLO, Paul QUIANO, Fred RAMIREZ, Rhoda RECTO, Omi REYES, Issay RODRIGUEZ, Kirby ROXAS, Jerson SAMSON, Julius SAMSON, Pogs SAMSON, Ed SAN JR., Caloy SANCHEZ, Danilo SANTIAGO, Emman SANTOS, Aner SEBASTIAN, Jojit SOLANO, Dexter SY, Angelo TABIJE, Jeff TAN, Julmard VICENTE, Marija VICENTE, Cris VILLANUEVA, Miles VILLANUEVA, Jeona ZOLETA
