About
The Kultura Blog is, officially, the unofficial site of Kultura. This is the place to get your fill of the latest news on what will soon be the Cultural Center of Pasig. Learn about our upcoming concerts, plays, and other events. Read our thoughts, see our sights, and even listen to our (usually pleasant) sounds.
Contributions will come from Kultura staff, volunteers, and, in the form of comments, you. Yes, you.
About Kultura
Kultura, an arts center based in the University of Asia and the Pacific’s Office of Student Affairs, aims to be both a home for the community’s creative talents as well as a coordinating body for cultural and artistic events within the University. Every year, with the cooperation of student volunteers, it produces a varied arts season for the benefit of the University community. Kultura also provides guidance to student organizations that focus on the arts.
Since its creation in 1995, Kultura has produced numerous plays, concerts, exhibits, workshops, and other arts-related activities. These events emphasize the significant role the arts play in liberal education. Art has a tremendous potential to instill values, not only in the audience, but also in those who participate in the productions themselves. Thus, Kultura differs from other arts programs in that it prioritizes values formation, and consequently people development, through the arts, over mere spectacle and entertainment. At the same time, it relentlessly strives for artistic excellence in all its endeavors.
Kultura also oversees the activities of the UA&P Chorale, the University’s resident choral ensemble.
Through its projects and events, Kultura aims to expose students to creative ways of spending their leisure time, promote values through the arts, promote the significant role that practice in and exposure to the arts can play in one’s holistic formation, and provide venues for the development and display of artistic talent in the University community.
