My love for the KPC is never-ending. The Kapisanan Philippine Centre for Arts & Culture (located at 167 Augusta Ave in Kensington Market) has really ramped up their programming in the past year or so and it definitely shows. Workshops + events all over the scene, but perhaps the most impressive venture has been the CLUTCH program.

CLUTCH was a pilot program that spanned over 6 months in 2008\09 and it offered a small select group of young filipino women the opportunity to express their cultural and personal identities by creating art through a multitude of mediums. Nothing was off limits and their final products have been truly awe inspiring for me personally. The girls collectively showcased their pieces at their program end exhibition, Open Fire – The Debut. I was lucky enough to catch opening night, but there’s also a nice round up of the event over on KPC’s blog. Great job, ladies. Can’t wait to see round two unfold.
