Crowd in one of the shows in last year's Fiesta Kultura

Exhibit organiser Menchie Maneze said that the exhibit aims to showcase the works of Filipino visual artists and craftspeople in Sydney, especially the “new and emerging artists whom we haven’t heard much about”.

Visual and literary arts to be displayed will include drawings, paintings, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, photography, film, multimedia, and books and print materials authored by Filipino writers in Australia, said Maneze.

Fiesta Kultura is staged by the Philippine Australia Sports and Culture, Inc. every October usually coinciding with a long week-end in New South Wales.

The event, previously called Philippine Fiesta, features trade exhibits, food festival, entertainment, children’s games and amusement rides, and a beauty pageant.

This year’s Fiesta Kultura will be held on Sunday, October 2 at Fairfield Showground, Smithfield Road, Bossley Park.
