Acces Residency Program – France 2021-2022

ACCES – Art & Cross-Cultural Exchange Society started and was officially created in October 2020; since, it’s been my long time dream – to combine doing what I love and helping those in need.

In 2005, the Ninong & Ninang Association was established by my family in the Philippines with the help of my friends in France. Through community outreach, volunteer work and fundraising activities, we have been supporting and sending needy children in Mauban (my hometown) to school. Sharing our blessings with others is an integral part of our culture and upbringing.

Through ACCES, the intent is to broaden our outreach programs to all those in need. We do believe that ART is a great tool to do great things, a UNIVERSAL way of connecting with each other, regardless of our belief, our skin color, our social status, our age, our language and our nationality.

With the support of our family and friends, ACCES adheres to a common goal and fundamental principles of solidarity, respect, openness, mutual support, fraternity and charity. We believe that art & cultural exchanges can lead to a more peaceful society. We are convinced that collaboration and partnership between countries and various organizations can only lead to a good relationship among artists around the globe.

Art is our way of expression, revealing who we are and what we are … 

The key to ACCES our dreams!
