A painting workshop with Filipino artist Dominic Deocampo as part of the World of Cultures celebration.

The Sarimanok (pronounced as sá·ri·ma·nók) is Philippine mythical legendary bird and a symbol of the Maranao, the people of the lake, known for their vibrant colors. Maranao is a predominantly Filipino ethnic group in Southern Philippines. Sarimanok is portrayed as a bird with assorted and vibrant colours mostly in spiral motifs holding a fish on its beak. It represents good fortune.
Each participant will paint a Sarimanok on a small canvas and take it home with them. All materials provided.
