08 March 2022 – On the occasion of Women’s Month and in celebration of International Women’s Day, the Philippine Consulate General in Vancouver successfully hosted the opening of “Calado: The Art of Lenore RS Lim” at the Consulate lobby on 07 March 2022.

In her remarks, Consul General Austria noted that Women’s Month offers an important opportunity to shine a light on women’s achievements in different aspects of society.

Lenore Lim is a pioneer and an important leader in the world of printmaking.  She received the Presidential Award, the Pamana ng Pilipino Award for Filipino overseas in 2004 and the Outstanding Professional Award for Fine Arts from the University of the Philippines Alumni Association for her accomplishments in the arts.

The details of the fabric reproduced in Calado demonstrate Lim’s interest in intricate pattern and texture.  Calado refers to a style of embroidery from her native province of Batangas
