Acclaimed artist Kublai Millan’s latest exhibit, Land of Premise, was officially inaugurated at The Manila Hotel’s Art Gallery on August 1, 2024. This solo exhibit, featuring a compelling collection of 14 paintings, invites guests to explore the untapped potential of Mindanao and envision a future where its promises are fulfilled.
In his remarks, Kublai emphasized that Land of Premise is more than just an artistic showcase; it is a bridge to understanding Mindanao’s rich heritage and future possibilities. “Words cannot build a future, only actions and resources can. Know the premise so we can conceive a fulfillable promise,” he stated.
The opening reception featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Kublai Millan, along with Marvin Kim Tan, The Manila Hotel’s vice president for sales and marketing; Jeremy Barns, Director-General of the National Museum of the Philippines; Cecile Guidote Alvarez, founder of the Philippine Educational Theater Association; Nancy dela Rosa, wife of Senator Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa; and Flora Chua, member of the board of the Philippine Cancer Society. The ceremony was attended by distinguished guests including Dr. Jaime Laya, president of Philtrust Bank; Atty. Elba Cruz, CEO and chief curator of Manila Clock Tower Museum; as well as representatives from the office of the Vice Mayor, City of Manila, and the Department of Tourism, Culture, and Arts of Manila. Guests enjoyed an afternoon of cocktails and conversation amid the vibrant display of Kublai’s artistry.
