Para Sa Sining

VISION : "Building a Culture of Inclusion through Collaborative Art" Para Sa Sining translates to ‘for the arts,’ where we define art as Life.

A collective of creative individuals & organizations passionate in creating a community that is inclusive through collaborative arts. We believe that we are storytellers of our own narratives. We are creators and makers of our own fate. And this is our shared identity as humans. Our stories connect us with the world around us. Our artistry connects us with all of Life.

About Jerome:
Jerome Dawis is a graduate of AB Multimedia Arts from De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde, where he was a scholar under the Office of Culture and the Arts through the college’s resident theatre company, Dulaang Filipino.

His work has served brands and institutions such as Art Fair Philippines, Ayala Foundation’s Filipinas Heritage Library, Jeep Philippines, and Habitat for Humanity Asia and the Pacific. Many of Jerome’s works trace their roots back to the theatre. His recent notable performances include Ricardo Abad’s Sintang Dalisay (2024–2025), Julienne Mendoza’s 10 to Midnight (2023), and adaptations of Lualhati Bautista’s Dekada ’70: The Musical (2020, directed by Pat Valera) and Desaparesidos (2018, adapted by Guelan Luarca). On screen, he appeared in the series Suntok sa Buwan (2022–2023) and in Jerrold Tarog’s film Quezon, and he is set to appear in the upcoming film EDJOP by Katski Flores. Currently, he is a lecturer in the Multimedia Arts program at De La Salle–College of Saint Benilde. At the core of all his work is a deep belief in the power of storytelling. And beyond all this, Jerome enjoys cooking for his family and friends in his spare time.

Join us and learn from an artist who has lived and breathed stories across countless mediums.
