​Artcebu’s mission is to promote Cebu art to the world through activities that raise awareness and appreciation. 

Through promotion and other initiatives, Artcebu aims to develop Cebu into a thriving, bustling, and renowned art and cultural city—one that sustains as well as encourages artists to develop high quality, world-class art.

Among our strategies are the following:

a.     Promoting education and encouraging appreciation by:

• organizing/supporting exhibits, outreach activities, art and cultural events
• collaborating with other groups on related activities
• organizing trainings, lectures, and workshops on Cebu art

b.    Encouraging local and international awareness by:

• growing and expanding our website and social media page
• building linkages with similar organizations
