DF Art Agency marks its 15th anniversary with a group exhibition bringing together 33 artists whose practices span different generations and moments in contemporary art.
Founded by Derek Flores, DF Art Agency celebrates its 15th anniversary with Grateful Horizons, a group exhibition that reflects on the relationships, collaborations, and shared histories that have shaped the agency’s journey. The exhibition serves as both a milestone and a moment of gratitude, honoring the artists and partnerships that have sustained the agency through years of thoughtful, long-term engagement.

About DF Art Agency
Since its inception, DF Art Agency has cultivated a practice grounded in continuity, care, and dialogue across generations. What began in the Philippines has since grown into an expansive international presence, with projects and collaborations spanning cities such as Paris, Tokyo, London, Kuala Lumpur, Fukuoka, Venice, Berlin, Singapore, Jakarta, Busan, Seoul, Madrid, Basel, and New York. Each engagement reflects the agency’s enduring commitment to meaningful artistic exchange rather than fleeting visibility.
Grateful Horizons: Contemporary Voices Across The Years
Grateful Horizons brings together 33 artists whose practices represent different generations and pivotal moments in contemporary art. Established artists share the exhibition space with emerging voices, underscoring the belief that artistic knowledge, curiosity, and discipline evolve through continuity and co-existence, not replacement. Many of the participating artists have worked with DF Art Agency at various stages of their careers, forming relationships defined by consistency, trust, and mutual growth.
The exhibition will be held at Leon Gallery International, DF Art Agency’s long-standing exhibition collaborator and institutional ally. The venue has been instrumental in presenting exhibitions that foreground artistic integrity and sustained practice.
Extending its ethos beyond the gallery walls, a portion of the exhibition’s proceeds will be donated to The Pawssion Project, a local non-profit animal welfare organization, carrying the spirit of gratitude into a broader social commitment.
At its core, Grateful Horizons is an expression of thanks: to the artists who placed their trust in the agency, to collaborations that endured through change, and to a community built through patience, care, and shared purpose. After 15 years, the exhibition stands not as a conclusion, but as a horizon, one shaped by a collective commitment to the future.
“Grateful Horizons” opens on January 19, 2026, with a reception at 5 PM, and runs until February 2, 2026 at Leon Gallery International. The gallery is located at the ground floor of Corinthian Plaza along Paseo de Roxas in Legazpi Village, Makati City.
