Art In The Park Celebrates 20 Years This March 2026

By

The beloved “art day out” returns with 55 exhibitors and a rare chance to acquire works by artists who headlined the fair in years past.

Art in the Park has always been more than a creative showcase set against a stretch of green. For two decades, it has also served as a crucial point of entry and a vital platform for exposure, both for art appreciators discovering new works (including those just beginning to build their collections) and for artists sharing them. As it celebrates 20 years this March 15, 2026 —returning to Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village, Makati City—the fair remains true to its founding principle by offering prices that remain accessible through a cap of ₱70,000. This year’s edition continues the legacy of all those that came before it, carrying an exciting selection of works from 55 exhibitors representing galleries, art collectives, independent art spaces, and student groups. 

A portion of the proceeds from every sale will be going to Art in the Park’s longtime partner, the Museum Foundation of the Philippines, supporting its key projects and initiatives dedicated to preserving and promoting the nation’s cultural and historical heritage. In honor of their 20-year partnership, the foundation will also introduce the “Art in the Park: The NMP Legacy Grant,” a prestigious new grant that recognizes the fair’s meaningful contribution to its mission and its lasting impact on the local art community.
