Mindanao Art took flight in 2019 through the initiative of Lawig-Diwa Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and preserving the rich cultural heritage and artistic excellence of Mindanao, in collaboration with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts and the National Committee on Art Galleries (NCCA-NCAG). Since then, it has established itself as the most prominent art exhibition in the region.
