Artisan Trunk Show Launches in Celebration of Philippine Creative Industries Month
On September 6, 2025, the The Dreamweavers Collective-Tboli Community Library and Culture Hub, in partnership with the Local Government Unit (LGU) of Lake Sebu's Local Economic Investment and Promotions Office (LEIPO), hosted an Artisan Trunk Show and Sale at the Tboli Library and Culture Hub. This event marks the beginning of the 12-Week Artisan Showcase, running from September 6 to November 22, 2025, in celebration of Philippine Creative Industries Month.
Artisans from the Lake Sebu area participated in the event, organized by The Dreamweaver Collective in collaboration with The Tboli Community Library and Culture Hub. This initiative aims to empower local artisans, preserve cultural heritage, and promote their products to a broader audience.
In a remarkable display of talent and demand, the artisans generated approximately P48,000.00 in sales within just half a day.
A special acknowledgment goes to Ms. Cecile Castillion-Weinstein, the founder of The Dreamweavers Collective, and Ms. Prima Guipo-Hower, co-founder of The Tboli Community Library and Culture Hub, for their leadership in organizing this event. Appreciation also goes to the buyers for their support and to Hon. Antonio G. Fungan, Jr., Mayor of Lake Sebu, for his commitment to enhancing the economic prospects of local artisans.
