Likewise, the fair is committed to expanding the local audience for the visual arts, making this accessible to enthusiasts and those who want to discover one of Southeast Asia's most exciting art landscapes— from thought-provoking installations to striking paintings and sculptures.
Meanwhile, the fair's 2023 edition marked the first annual event to be held fully face-to-face since 2020.
Although the highly anticipated event's return to a physical setup in its original venue was already enough to raise hype for its in-person comeback, the organizers decided to raise the stakes for their special 10th anniversary. It featured a "biophilic" design that gave its visitors a refreshed experience in exploring the exhibits.
A total of 63 local and international exhibitors participated in 2023, including Kapitan Kulam, León Gallery, Lunang Mentoring Program, Mark Lewis Higgins, and METRO Gallery, to name a few.
Other activities aside from usual exhibits are yet to be disclosed. You can visit the Art Fair Philippines' website for more updates.
