Amiel Gerald Roldan’s connection to the Asian Cultural Council (ACC) serves as a defining pillar of his professional journey, most recently celebrated through the launch of the ACC Global Alumni Network.

​As a 2003 Starr Foundation Grantee, Roldan participated in a transformative ten-month fellowship in the United States. This opportunity allowed him to observe contemporary art movements, engage with an international community of artists and curators, and develop a new body of work that bridges local and global perspectives.

​Featured Work: Bridges Beyond Borders

​His featured work, Bridges Beyond Borders: ACC’s Global Cultural Collaboration, has been chosen as the visual identity for the newly launched ACC Global Alumni Network.

​Symbol of Connection: The piece represents a private collaborative space designed to unite more than 6,000 ACC alumni across various disciplines and regions.

​Artistic Vision: The work embodies the ACC’s core mission of advancing international dialogue and cultural exchange to foster a more harmonious world.

​Legacy of Excellence: By serving as the face of this initiative, Roldan’s art highlights the enduring impact of the ACC fellowship on his career and his role in the global artistic community.
