ManilART 2024 is fast approaching! ManilART or The National Art Fair, known as the longest-running visual arts fair in the Philippines, makes a return this October with the theme "Prisms & Mosaics."
ManilART, the country’s national art fair, returns this year with the theme “Prisms & Mosaics,” highlighting the multifaceted nature of contemporary Filipino art. Set to run from October 9-13, 2024, at the SMX Aura Convention Center, this year’s event is a dynamic celebration of diversity, complexity, and interconnectedness in artistic expression.
As a country, we’ve prided ourselves in expressing ourselves through various forms of artworks. It’s no secret that local artists, both current and in previous decades, have proven themselves time and again. But what exactly makes a specific art piece Filipino? Is there some sort of mark that makes it so?
MANILART, the country's national art fair, returns this year with the theme "Prisms and Mosaics," highlighting the multifaceted nature of contemporary Filipino art. Set to run at the SMX Aura Convention Center from October 9-13, this year's event is a dynamic celebration of diversity, complexity and interconnectedness in artistic expression.
Art reflects the times, and innovation is par for the course when it comes to “Forging Futures.” The theme alludes to the creation of new language–visual and technical– through a process that breaks down the form of the old, leaving the substance to take on a new shape, as in metal through a fiery forge. Art is its content, as well as medium, is redefined, expanded and renewed.
This year’s participating exhibitors are 371 Art Space, AC 388, Annual Sculpture Review, Art For Space, Artes Orientes, AT Art Gallery, Dry Brush, Espacio Manila, Galerie Artes, Galerie Du Soleil, Galerie Francesca, Galerie Raphael, Galleria Nicolas, G9 Online, Gallery Nine, Historia Arts, M Gallery MNL, Museo de Pacis, Philippine Art Nation, Pugad ni Art, Renaissance Gallery, The Artologist, Village Art Gallery, and Ysobel Art Gallery.
The debut of the phygital on ManilART’s stage bridges the gap between digital and traditional spaces. Digital artworks are minted as Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs) which are valued as extensions or digital prints of the physical piece. Ownership of these NFTs is tied to the blockchain in the form of a crypto work that enables itself to be valued and traded in virtual art galleries and crypto markets.
Now in its 14th year, the National Art Fair continues its onward and upward momentum with the theme, “Forging Futures” this October 19-23 at the SMX Convention Center, SM Aura Taguig. Past years have focused on Visions for a Future Reimagined (2020) and Continuing Legacies (2021) – giving novel approaches a space in well-established traditions.
Arts and culture evolve with the times. Participating in the creation of our cultural landscape, the here and now contribute to chronicling Philippine art history-in-the-making. In 2021, we saw a first look at new technologies alongside traditional media: the art fair was made accessible for online patrons through 360-degree digital walkthroughs, and augmented-reality copies of artworks were presented alongside original physical pieces through a first-ever “phygital” showcase.
ManilART is the flagship activity of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA)’s Museums and Galleries Month (MGM), celebrated every October. On its thirteenth year, ManilART observes the theme “Continuing Legacies,” resuming its regular programming from Oct. 13 to 17, 2021 at the SMX Convention Center, SM Aura Premier, Taguig City.

Art, much like life itself, always finds a way.
