In 2004, the Metrobank Foundation
launched MADE after 20 years of
awarding talented young painters
under the Young Painters’ Annual.
With the expanded arts program, the
Foundation also aims to recognize
the outstanding works of young and
promising sculptors, architects and
interior designers. Just like the
Foundation’s previous art
competition, MADE aims to provide a
venue for talented artists in
various disciplines to express their
creativity and provide them with
incentives to further hone their
craft. |
