UP Diliman Arts and Culture Festival
UP Diliman Pista ng mga Sining at Kultura
The UP Diliman Arts and Culture Festival is an annual celebration of the Campus, spearheaded by the UPD Office of the Chancellor through the UPD Office for Initiatives in Culture and the Arts (UPD-OICA) in commemoration of the National Arts Month and the historic exodus of the University campus from its site in Manila to Diliman.
The tradition is more than a decade old, and has become the ultimate venue to showcase not only the creativity and academic excellence of our constituents, but also to share with the nation UP Diliman’s wealth of talents, inspiration, resources and its leadership in culture and the arts.
Isang taunang pagdiriwang ng Kampus ang UP Diliman Pista ng mga Sining at Kultura, pinasisimunuan ng UPD Opisina ng Tsanselor sa pamamagitan ng UPD Opisina ng Pagpapasimuno para sa Kultura at mga Sining (UPD-OICA) bilang paggunita sa Pambansang Buwan ng Sining at sa historikong paglipat ng kampus ng Unibersidad mula sa Maynila patungo sa Diliman.
Mahigit sampung taon na ang tradisyong ito at naging pangunahing venue ito upang maipakita hindi lamang ang pagiging malikhain at mahusay ng mga taga-UP, kundi maibahagi rin nito sa bansa ang angkin nitong yaman sa iba’t ibang talento, inspirasyon, risorses, at ang pangunguna nito sa larang ng sining at kultura.
