It’s been two weeks since the last day of #ArtFairPH 2026, and we’re heartened and overwhelmed by the incredible wave of tags, stories, and posts from everyone who joined us. Expanding the audience for the visual arts has always been our mission.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to visit, support the artists, and celebrate National Arts Month with us. Thank you for reminding us why we do this. We can’t wait to welcome you back next year!
BPI Presents #ArtFairPH/Projects 2026
Imagine yourself in the middle of a small, old town plaza. From each direction, eskinitas and pockets of spaces open up, each with their own concerns; sometimes opposing, often overlapping. Everywhere, people move, linger, whisper, pray, nod, argue, watch, wait, gather.
Such is the essence of Nazareno/Lichauco’s vision for ArtFairPH/Projects. Here, an ephemeral third space is created. Its temporary formation intensifies its lack in everyday Filipino life: a shared site where inclusive discourse encourages democracy; and as the need grows, must be clamored for from the government.
The space brings together artists from eclectic origins and generations: Imelda Cajipe Endaya, Ambie Abaño, Ampparito (Spanish Embassy), Max Balatbat, Constancio Bernardo, Brenda V. Fajardo, Ged Unson Merino, Tessy and Jon Pettyjohn, Solomon Saprid, Romeo Tabuena, and the collective, Sa Tahanan Co.
Together, they give form to the conversations of a community: what people show each other, what they hide, what they carry with them, what they leave behind—all these matters that ultimately make up a well-examined life.

ARTS & CULTURE: In her exhibition "...beyond body...", Ambie Abaño explores the physical and spiritual journey of the human form through every stage of existence.
From the peak of physical desirability to the transformative mid-life experience of pregnancy and the inevitable transition of aging, her work contemplates the mystery of where we go once we finally leave our physical bodies behind.

ARTS & CULTURE: Yeo Kaa (@yeokaa ), known for her artworks that juxtaposes cute, pastel, doll-like characters with eerie, disturbing themes, reflects on a decade of evolution with “Okay, Next.” She encased her past works in jars while looking ahead through a series of paintings representing the next seven years.
The heart of the exhibition is a 3D sculpture of herself — a symbolic resurrection that invites viewers to witness her journey of rebirth and the bold start of a brand-new chapter.

ARTS & CULTURE: Madrid-based artist @ampparito steps outside his comfort zone in "Esperanza de Vida (Life Expectancy)," a deeply personal showcase featuring hand-written calendars that stretch until the year 2099. After the loss of a relative sparked a rare reflection on mortality, he meticulously documented the remaining days of his own expected life.
