CASA SAN MIGUEL

CENTER FOR THE ARTS IN SAN ANTONIO

Founded in 1993 by violinist Alfonso “Coke” Bolipata, ​CASA San Miguel is a regional arts center and ​foundation dedicated to enriching the lives of the ​Zambales community through the arts.

Over the past 3 decades, the project has grown into a ​social enterprise for the local community to celebrate ​the arts in all its forms, beauty, and diversity. Nestled ​between the mountains and the sea, this center has ​served as a home to artists from all disciplines.

Today, San Antonio proudly distinguishes itself from ​other towns in the province by having an arts center of ​its own. Now in its 31st year, it continues to strengthen ​the original concept of a small and intimate art center ​that is relevant to the local community, but one, with ​global impact.

“We are on a mission to be the leading ​community center in holistic arts and culture ​in the Zambales region.”
