The fight for the arts can be lonely, but it doesn't have to be. ACOPEI (the Association of Cultural Offices in Philippine Educational Institutions) was formed over a decade ago to bring together educators, culture workers, arts administrators, student artists — anyone at all advocating for the arts in an academic context — in collaborative synergy.
