Art Fair Philippines is delighted to unveil the dates for its highly anticipated 2024 edition, set to captivate art enthusiasts from February 16 to 18, 2024, at The Link in Makati City. As the premier platform for modern and contemporary Philippine visual art, the fair promises an enriching experience for all attendees.

During last year’s 10th anniversary, Art Fair Philippines returned to The Link with a new biophilic design, offering fairgoers a refreshing experience in an organically designed setting. The event marked a milestone in expanding the Philippine audience for contemporary art, showcasing the vibrant art landscape of Southeast Asia.

The 2023 edition featured an impressive lineup of 63 exhibitors, both local and international, reflecting the diversity and richness of artistic expression. Galleries from Japan to Spain, and across the Philippines' main island clusters, contributed to the cultural tapestry of the fair.

This year, we can expect Art Fair Philippines to pay tribute to a diverse selection of artists from around the Philippines, honoring their groundbreaking contributions to the local art scene. We may even see contributions from their residencies.

ArtFairPH/Residencies exhibits works from artists who completed residencies across the country, showcasing the talents of IC Jaucian, Nicolei Gupit, Aaron Kaiser Garcia, ESL Chen, Jonathan Baldonado, and James Clar. Launched in 2021 in partnership with Bleeding Heart Rum Corporation, ArtFairPH/Residencies opens up opportunities for Filipino artists across disciplines.

In the previous years, learning opportunities were found at ArtFairPH/Talks, offering fair visitors lectures, panel discussions, and artists' talks in collaboration with the Ateneo Art Gallery and Museum Foundation of the Philippines. Augmenting the learning experience is ArtFairPH/Workshops, focusing on digital art and organized with educational partner Tezos.

As the anticipation builds for Art Fair Philippines 2024, we look forward to a celebration of creativity, diversity, and the enduring spirit of artistic expression. Whether you're a seasoned art enthusiast or a curious newcomer, the fair promises an immersive experience that transcends boundaries and fosters a deeper connection with the world of contemporary art.
