On January 28, 1991, former President Corazon C. Aquino issued Presidential Proclamation No. 683, declaring the month of February as National Arts Month (NAM), a celebration that recognizes Philippine arts as an essential pillar of national identity, cultural preservation, and social development. This observance also supports the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in promoting holistic human development through quality, inclusive, and culturally responsive education.

In line with this national celebration, Bukidnon State University, through the Culture, Arts, and Sports Development Unit (CASDevU), proudly celebrates Arts Month 2026 with the theme:
🌾“𝓐𝓷𝓲 𝓷𝓰 𝓢𝓲𝓷𝓲𝓷𝓰: 𝓚𝓪𝓽𝓸𝓽𝓸𝓱𝓪𝓷𝓪𝓷 𝓪𝓽 𝓖𝓲𝓽𝓲𝓷𝓰” (Product of Art: Truth and Courage)

This theme highlights art as a reflection of our collective memories, lived experiences, and shared aspirations—where truth is expressed and courage is strengthened. Through artistic expression, we promote critical reflection, cultural appreciation, ethical engagement, and civic responsibility among students and the university community.

Join us as we celebrate creativity, talent, and cultural heritage through meaningful and inspiring artistic performances and exhibits. Together, let us continue to uphold the arts as a powerful force for education, community engagement, and nation-building.
