It’s art fair season again and we’re sure Art Fair PH is on your mind. This year’s #ArtFairPH will be the sixth edition of the art fair. “Last year, we welcomed more than 40,000 visitors, and we’ve seen how the interest in Philippine contemporary art has grown. Our move to secure a bigger space and oversee access to the fair will allow us to enhance the viewing experience of our visitors and help ensure that artwork can be properly appreciated,” says Trickie Lopa, fair co-founder.
