Art Fair 2020

I recently attended Art Fair 2020 at Makati City last February 21st, and I must say that I wasn’t disappointed. While I can’t call myself a serious art collector, I still appreciate fine art. I love what it does to me as a person. I feel better whenever I look at works by artists because they speak to me and convey emotions that I sometimes bury inside myself. As a result, I leave the annual art fair as a better person and a more emotive human being.

I hope that you will also attend Art Fair not just to purchase art, but to appreciate yourself in the scope of the artists’ works. You will surely be enriched by the intense collective energy and joy. Who knows, you might even learn more about yourself in the process.

Art Fair 2019

Yesterday, I woke up early and rode the P2P to Makati. 

I had a tasty danggit brekkie and barako coffee.  

Then, it was time for me to explore Art Fair Philippines 2019.  

I had a wonderful time and here are some of my favorites.

See you again next year, Art Fair! 

Art Fair 2018

Art Fair Philippines is one of my favorite annual events because I am guaranteed to see works that will inspire me. This year, I visited the fair on a Friday to avoid the weekend crowd. 

I started my day with a delicious breakfast sandwich and a double-double. I was fascinated with the knit design of Tim Hortons’ cup, as it reminded me of my recent Knitting Adventure at Banaue. 

I also had some quiet time at Greenbelt Chapel. 

Before I knew it, the fair was already open for the day!

Allow me to share with you the pieces which have caught my eye. 

This cute K9 will guard the works of art!

Meeting THE Kidlat Tahimik was the highlight of my visit. He is known as the Father of Philippine Cinema. Here was his imposing work. 

I also attended a special screening of Kidlat Tahimik’s films at the roofdeck. 

I then proceeded to LTD All-Day Dining for lunch and coffee. 

I had a delicious chorizo pasta, sansrival and cappuccino. 

I had a wonderful day at the fair and I am definitely inspired to infuse whimsy and design into the everyday.
