THE DRAWING ROOM is a contemporary art gallery founded by Cesar Villalon Jr. on February 1998 in Makati City, Philippines. It mostly features established artists from the Philippines whose respective practices investigate the complementary and often merging positions among their oeuvre, their lifestyles and the realities that make up a complex society. The gallery exists in a dynamic and in-depth platform with its artists – through its support in interdisciplinary artistic process and a strategic and critical program of presentation in international art fairs and collaborations with institutions and other venues. The Drawing Room assists public art institutions in Manila and the region through exhibitions and acquisitions of Filipino contemporary art.
