The Tanglawan Gallery showcasing the works of new generation of local artists is one of the highlights of this year's Tanglawan Festival which recently opened for public in SM City San Jose del Monte.
The Tanglawan Gallery will first feature the paintings from the group of artists in the city, FCPC Filustrados and Sining Tanglawan, whose artworks were done on the spot at the mall atrium last September 01 with the theme of “Kanlungan ng Bagong Pag-asa”, as one of the activities of the 11-day long festival. It will then feature more artworks, photographs, and milestones of Tanglawan Festival.

As part of the 4th Tanglawan Festival and 19th Cityhood Anniversary of San Jose del Monte, Tanglawan Gallery is now open for public located at the 2nd basement of SM City San Jose del Monte. It is located at Basement 2, where the Government Service Express is also located, to turn its white walls to a colorful and meaningful gallery.
"Syempre itong ating mga artist at maging ang ating mga Kabataang artist ay ang magbibigay kinabukasan para sa ating Bayan, kaya nga naisip natin na by next year, itatayo na natin ang Culture and Arts Building for the City para unti-unti na talaga nating matulungan ang ating mga kabataang mahilig sa sining." -Mayor Arthur Robes.
Through this gallery, the local government were able to help the homegrown artists share their talents and promote their artworks and their very own Tanglawan Festival not just here in the country but around the world.
Meanwhile, Congresswoman Florida Robes believes that these kinds of works will play a big part in the vision of San Jose del Monte as the rising city. “I know that the ‘Culture and Arts’ project our Tourism Office will really help our children hone their talents” she added.
In 2018, kakanin makers in the city presented a 10 by 10 feet Tanglawan Logo made of different Filipino rice cake recipes that showcased the expertise of San Joseños in kakanin making.
This year, the gallery aims to be a visual celebration of ‘Hope’ as the word ‘Tanglawan’ came from the word ‘Tanglaw’ which means is torch or light. Artworks will be displayed in the gallery permanently, while the Tanglawan Festival photographs of achievements will be re-curated from time to time in partnership with the local tourism office.
