The CCP unveils newly updated Thirteen Artists Awards website to celebrate the legacy and future of Filipino art

The Cultural Center of the Philippines, through the Visual Arts and Museum Division, relaunches the Thirteen Artists Awards (TAA) website with a new, revamped look and updated content. Check out the new website starting June 13, 2026.

The digital platform, accessible at www.thirteenartists.culturalcenter.gov.ph, has been updated to serve as a comprehensive archive, showcase, and hub for the TAA, one of the most prestigious recognitions in the Philippine art scene. Established in 1970, the CCP Thirteen Artists aims to honor contemporary artists who have made innovative contributions to Philippine art.

The newly relaunched website marks a significant milestone in the program’s history, offering an enhanced user experience and a richer presentation of the awardees through the years.

A digital home for art excellence

The revamped website features an updated interface designed to highlight the works and profiles of awardees from the inception of the program to the present. Visitors can now easily browse through the roster of artists, explore the Thirteen Artists exhibitions, and gain deeper insights into the evolution of modern and contemporary art in the Philippines.

The website is designed to be mobile-responsive and user-friendly, ensuring that art enthusiasts, researchers, students, and collectors from around the world can engage with Philippine art anytime, anywhere.

“This relaunch is more than just an update; it is a commitment to preserving Filipino cultural heritage while embracing the digital age. We want this platform to bridge the gap between established masters and emerging talents, making art more accessible to the public and ensuring that the legacy of the Thirteen Artists Awards continues to inspire future generations,” said CCP president Kaye C. Tinga.

The oldest government award for visual artists

More than 50 years since it was first presented, the CCP Thirteen Artists Award remains a prestigious triennial award to honor young visual artists who demonstrate innovative, forward-thinking practices that redefine Philippine contemporary art.

The TAA started as a curatorial project of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) Museum under the directorship of its first curator Roberto Chabet. The TAA was created in order to showcase the works of artists who aimed to “restructure, re-strengthen and renew artmaking and art thinking… that lend viability to Philippine art.”

It was Raymundo Albano, the then-director of the CCP Museum and Non-theater Operations, who transformed the 13 Artists into the awards program that it is known today.

The TAA Artists awards and exhibition was mounted every two years from 1970 to 1980, and again in 1988 to 1994. It was revived in 2000 and changed to a triennial format, which it  follows until today.
