Galleries, art collectives, independent art spaces, and student groups once again gather at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village for the 12th edition of Art in the Park
As one of the major contributors to the country’s burgeoning art scene, Art in the Park, the country’s premiere and most significant affordable art fair, inevitably draws huge, lively, and engaged crowds. There are the serious collectors on the hunt to snag another treasure or two, and there are also those who simply find pleasure in looking at, and learning more about, art in an informal and relaxed setting, with a vibe that is casual and easy-going.
True to its primary goal of making Philippine modern and contemporary art more accessible to more people, Art in the Park prescribes a cap of P50,000 on the art works, and it is not at all far-fetched to be able to obtain a coveted piece for much less. This allows for that beautiful painting, or intriguing photograph, or exquisite piece of sculpture, or delicate pottery to be within reasonable reach of all types of budgets.
Supporting Museum FPI in its mission to create awareness for the National Museum and its network, and ultimately in developing and promoting Philippine culture and art, Art in the Park continues to earmark a portion of all sales to the Museum Foundation of the Philippines.
