Sining Saysay

An ambitious project of the UPAA is the Sining Saysay, a brainchild of former UPAA President Gari Tiongco. A joint undertaking with the Araneta Center, it involves 30 painters, all alumni of the College of Fine Arts, who will create mural-size paintings depicting significant events and personalities in Philippine history.  When finished, the ensemble of paintings will be displayed for free public viewing at the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City.

Centennial Celebrations

                  UPAA celebrates its 100th year in 2013. One hundred years of enduring heritage and legacy to the University as well as to the nation. Majority of our national artists and national scientists, as well as many national leaders, are alumni of the University, but the UPAA itself is proud to be an integral part of the University, as well as its full-fledged partner in contributing to nation-building.  The UPAA can look back to its first 100 years with pride, and look forward to its next 100 years with the query, What more can we do for our country and Alma Mater?
