ManilArt, the country’s longest-running Art Fair, celebrates its 8th year of promoting the best of Philippine creative artistry from the various regions of the country on October 6-9, 2016 at SMX Aura Convention Center, Taguig City.

With the support of the finest local and international galleries, ManilArt elevates the standards of the Philippine’s dynamic art scene through various exhibitions featuring conceptualized artists’ collections while it connects artists and galleries with local and international art communities and institutions.

Creating more awareness and appreciation of Filipino Art to all audiences is what this exhibition is all about. The heightened notice given to both contemporary pieces and works by the masters in art events outside of the country simply echoes what has always been the strength of ManilArt.

The all-embracing nature of ManilArt is evident with its consistently broad showcase of Philippine talent ranging from presentations from the young and up and coming, to established trailblazers and respected icons that also include ethnic and regional creative expressions.

Aside from the great works that will be featured by the galleries, the younger crowd will also be engaged during their visit as they have the option to join the Art Tour by select artists, have snacks at Digong’s Cafe and have a meet and greet with Artists at the booth of Manila Bulletin showcasing their the book on Filipino Artists in Their Studio.

With the synergistic rise of both talent and viewership, the Philippine art industry is truly in its New Golden Age and ManilArt is proud to have been instrumental in this resurgence. - Rappler.com
