The Three Annual Fairs You Shouldn't Miss In Makati

Makati City has three important fairs which you shouldn't miss.

For the art, culture, and design aficionados, these are the fairs to be at:

First is Art Fair Philippines.  Held usually in February, and founded in 2013, Art Fair Philippines is the premier platform for exhibiting and selling the best in modern and contemporary Philippine visual art. The fair aims to mirror the vibrant local art scene and continue to generate support for Filipino art practitioners. Set in an alternative urban venue, Art Fair Philippines makes art accessible to enthusiasts and to those who want to discover one of Southeast Asia’s most exciting art landscapes.

Philippine Art Events, Inc. oversees the management of Art Fair Philippines.  Art Fair Philippines 2016 was held last Feb. 18-21, 2016 at the Link.

Second would be Art In the Park in Salcedo Village. Since 2006, Art in the Park has gathered together a diverse group of galleries, art schools, independent art spaces, and collectives for the country’s most significant affordable art fair. An annual event that benefits the operations of the Museum Foundation of the Philippines in its mission to create awareness for the National Museum and its network, Art in the Park offers visitors a range of paintings, prints, photographs, sculpture, and new media at prices PhP 40,000.00 and below.

Set in the relaxed and casual atmosphere of Jaime Velasquez Park in the Philippines’ financial capital of Makati City, Art in the Park keeps to its mission of making the visual arts accessible to everyone.

Art in the Park is organized by the Museum Foundation of the Philippines Inc. and Philippine Art Events Inc.

Last but not the least would be the Negros Trade Fair.  Now on its 31st edition, the Negros Trade Fair is the longest running provincial trade fair in the Philippines.  Brought to metropolitan Manila from the charming island of Negros, the SWEET Spot of the Philippines, the Negros Trade Fair is organized by the Association of Negros Producers.
