Iloilo Museum of Contemporary Art

The ground floor houses The Hulot Exhibit, named after the Hiligaynon word for room or space.[7] It is allocated for exhibitions of local and international artists and serves as a commercial space for guest artists to display and sell their works. Visitors can also find the museum shop, where they can buy souvenirs and special museum memorabilia.

The second floor contains The Gallery, which is devoted to rotating shows of various themes. It has three inaugural exhibitions: works by Filipino artists who identify themselves as Ilonggo and are recognized locally and abroad; pieces by foreign artists and a collection of sculptures.[4]

The “Ilonggo Country” gallery, which features finest artists who have Ilonggo roots, seeks to showcase the diverse art community of the region.[8] It emphasizes the lack of an “Ilonggo art” and instead curates “art conceived and realized by the many Ilonggo artists from everywhere who continue to contribute to the flourishing Philippine art.” [9] Among the artists featured in the Ilonggo Country are Rock Drilon, Charlie Co, Nelfa Querubin and other emerging artists who have won national awards.

Meanwhile, Gallery 2 called “A Presence Beyond The Native,” showcases a collection of artworks by foreign artists. Masterworks of international artists such as Salvador Dalí, Marc Chagall, and Joan Miró are displayed in the gallery.[8]

The third gallery houses sculptures to demonstrate the expansion of the traditional sculpture media to contemporary times through fabric, glass, steel, concrete, or resin. Among the works displayed in the gallery are glass sculptures by Ramon Orlina, a miniature of Michael Cacnio's UPlift sculpture, said to be the female version of the University of the Philippines’ iconic Oblation,[10] and glass heads of Benedicto “BenCab” Cabrera.[8]

The third floor is named the Adoracion Valencia Gallery and showcases the personal collection of ILOMOCA's primary patron, Edwin Valencia. It is named after Valencia's mother who influenced his passion for the arts.[11] It houses the collection of the Valencia family, including works from National Artists Arturo Luz and Ang Kiukok.[8]

Aside from hosting exhibitions, ILOMOCA also has its own venue for hosting performance art, theater productions, workshops, and other cultural events. Called The Box, the theater is located on the second level of the museum and is equipped with state-of-the-art audio technology. It has a capacity of up to sixty people.[11]
