Marahuyo Art Projects is founded on the belief that art is a tool for meaningful change–both personal and societal.

Marahuyo Art Projects invites artists to explore and present their personal directions and sentiments, both in form and content. Marahuyo serves as an extension of the artists’ personal creative space, and as a venue to showcase their current practice and environmental context.

Marahuyo provides opportunities for artists to deepen and focus individual and/or collaborative perspectives on themselves, and their roles as artists in society at large.

Marahuyo offers programmed and curated content by working with its artists to reach audiences and collectors far beyond the confines of traditional galleries. An online platform and a virtual art space, it features Filipino visual artists primarily, while remaining open to meaningful creative collaborations with other artists in the region and the rest of the world.

Proceeds of sales benefit the programs and initiatives of The Center for Art, New Ventures & Sustainable Development, a nonprofit organization which works with the creative community to promote children's literacy, explore national identity, and broaden public awareness of Philippine art, culture and the environment.

CANVAS’ flagship activity is the Romeo Forbes Children's Literacy Program which leads to the giving away of books directly to children in public schools and disadvantaged communities all over the Philippines.. To date, more than 250,000 children's books have been distributed all over the country from Batanes to Zamboanga.
