MANILA – The Metropolitan Museum of Manila has launched the MET Open 2014, a benefit exhibition featuring modern and contemporary art works in the Philippines based on the time frame of the Museum’s survey exhibition, The Philippine Contemporary: To Scale the Past and the Possible.
The MET OPEN 2014 issued an open call and invitation to artists, collectors and their authorized representatives to submit entries until August 16, 2014. Artworks will be exhibited at the Museum’s Tall Galleries from September 8 till 20.
