Brown Strokes on a White Canvas Traveling Art Exhibit

A traveling art exhibit highlighting the artistic expression of Philippine Independence. This show is based on the premise that without independence there is no freedom and without freedom there is limited expression. "Brown Strokes" represents the Philippine artistic presence - "White Canvas" represents the United States.

Maurese Oteyza Owens



















Unknown Mime-gician was the guest entertainer. He came out pulling on an imaginary rope; ran into an invisible wall; worked his way through a hole and found a bright light that lept from hand to hand, into his mouth and out his ear. He got Jon Melegrito to do an imaginary Tinikling dance.
