Brother Angelo Eraño V. Manalo, Deputy Executive Minister, approved the INC Museum’s mobile tour to celebrate the 10th anniversary of EVM Art, which stands for Expressing the Vision and Mission of the Iglesia Ni Cristo through Art.

This regional roadshow began in January 2026, traveling through Calamba, San Pablo, Rizal, Quezon North, and Quezon East before arriving at its most recent stop.

The exhibit features award-winning artworks collected over a decade of competitions. The venue remained opened for several days to accommodate the viewing schedules or personal leisure visits of the brethren from local congregations.

The EVM Art Mobile Exhibit’s sixth and most recent stop was hosted by the Ecclesiastical District of Bulacan South from July 12 to August 2, 2026, as part of the district’s 15th anniversary celebration. The artworks on exhibit were mounted at the Meycauayan Local Congregation’s house of worship.

The mobile exhibition opened on July 12 at 2:00 PM with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Brother Eufracio B. Castillo Jr., the district supervising minister. Following the ceremony, Brother Castillo toured the gallery alongside district leadership and officers from the Christian Family Organizations.

“The traveling art exhibition serves to motivate and inspire the brethren who possess artistic skills,” Brother Castillo said in an interview afterward.

“I am overjoyed that my brethren and I have been given the opportunity to showcase our talents and express powerful messages through our artwork,” shared Precious Libao, a Children’s Worship Service officer and winning art contributor.

Precious’ mother, Inonie, a deaconess from the Maligaya Village Congregation, lauded the activity for encouraging members to share their artistic talents. She added, “Events like this help bring joy to everyone through the field of art.”

“It is wonderful to see the different paintings made by the brethren,” said Shakina Soriano, the district Christian Brotherhood International vice president. “These are not just ordinary pieces; each one carries a deep meaning and tells a unique story.”

The upcoming district stops for the mobile exhibit later this year include Bataan South; Zambales North; Urdaneta City, Pangasinan; Rosales, Pangasinan; Sta. Rosa, Nueva Ecija; Quirino; Isabela East; and Isabela West.
