Save the Date: Art in the Park Is Back...at the Park

(SPOT.ph) While we're still looking back at all our Art Fair Philippines 2023 photos and reels, another art event is getting ready to put up the tents next month. Art in the Park, which is from the same organizers as ArtFairPH, is happening on March 19, a Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. And after three online editions, it will be back at Jaime Velasquez Park (a.k.a. Salcedo Park) in Makati.

Art in the Park 2023: Date, Time, Venue

Touted as ArtFairPH's more affordable counterpart, Art in the Park had its debut in the digital space when the pandemic postponed their 2020 schedule. It was supposed to open on March 15, 2020, which happens to be the same weekend that a quarantine restriction was implemented in Metro Manila. That year's Art in the Park pushed through with an online version in August 2020, and was then followed by a digital Art in the Park in January 2021. A special hybrid event was held in July 2021 with a massive installation at Salcedo Park, while the rest of the art displays were on Art in the Park's website. Art in the Park 2022 remained fully in the digital space last April.

And now that Art Fair Philippines 2023 returned with a live event last February 17, it's only proper that its sister art fair is held at the park once again.

Since 2006, the annual Art in the Park calls the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village, Makati City, its home. Admission has always been free, and works being sold have a cap of P70,000. Art pieces—from paintings to sculptures, from photographs to mixed-media pieces—are laid out on the ground, piled inside boxes, or placed side-by-side inside small booths; giving Art in the Park a laid-back ambience.

Art in the Park is on March 19, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., at Jaime Velasquez Park, Salcedo Village, Makati City.
