WSC board member John Pabrua noted that while strict guidelines excluded some artists from the competition, they were still able to show their works in the broader exhibition. Despite the tight timeline before the opening, Pabrua praised the group’s rapid bond and strong support system.
“It’s a beautiful environment to work in,” Pabrua said. “Your strengths are utilized, and your weaknesses are covered by the others.”

Recognizing the enthusiasm of the group’s young artists and professionals, WSC president and founder Eduardo Solana Jr. said that while the society is still developing its technical caliber, its members’ dedication to the medium is undeniable.
“I realized that in forming this group, I should focus on one thing, and that is development,” Solana explained.
To cultivate this talent, Solana said the society will open its doors to the public through a lineup of paid and free lectures and workshops. The group has also secured an academic partnership with the University of San Carlos (USC), marking the beginning of an active, program-rich calendar.
