Manila

ACC Manila provides artists, scholars, and arts professionals opportunities for transformative exchange between the Philippines and the United States, as well as the Philippines and the rest of Asia. Since 1963, we have supported more than 300 exchanges of individuals from the Philippines. We are a resource for ACC grantees and alumni traveling to the region, a convener of the arts community, and supported by the fundraising efforts of local donors, foundations, and events.

In 2000, the ACC Manila office and ACC Philippines Foundation (ACCPF) was established under the leadership of trustees Ernest L. Escaler, Maria Isabel G. Ongpin, Isabel Caro Wilson, Josie Cruz Natori, and David Rockefeller, Jr. ACCPF raises funds and advocates to increase international exchange opportunities for the vibrant and exciting art sector in the Philippines. Annually, we host auctions and fundraising events bolstered by and celebrating our active community of alumni, trustees, and supporters.
