Artists for the Nation
In 1972, the Philippines named its first
national artist—world- class painter
Fernando Amorsolo. The national artist
award is a great honor given to the Filipino
whose life and works have contributed to
the advancement of the country’s arts and
letters.
The national artist then became part of the prestigious
roster of the Order of National Artists. NCCA and CCP
jointly administer the nomination and selection of the
chosen exemplary artists, who are conferred by the
President of the country.
In 1972, Presidential Proclamation No. 1001, created
and established “the Award and Decoration of National
Artist.” This law enabled the government “to give
appropriate recognition and prestige to Filipinos who have
distinguished themselves and made outstanding
contributions to Philippine arts and letters.”
