Artists from the islands of Samar, Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental, Negros Occidental, Guimaras,
from the provinces of Panay — Aklan, Capiz, and Iloilo — and selected international artists will
converge in Antique for the 17th edition of the Visayas Islands Visual Arts Exhibition and Conference
(VIVA ExCon) on November 8-10, 2023.
VIVA ExCon is considered as the longest-running and largest art biennale in the Philippines.
Designed as both an exhibition and a conference, the exhibition component of VIVA EXCON I,
was meant not only to “showcase contemporary works of visual arts from the different islands
but also to promote visual art forms reflective of the islands’ cultural influences, historical traditions and
current social situations aside from encouraging innovative, experimental or collaborative
works among Visayan visual artists.” (VIVA EXCON Folio, 1990)
