𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗟𝗗 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗟𝗗 𝗚𝗥𝗢𝗧𝗧𝗢 | Ana Verayo and Ernest Concepcion Opening reception on May 16, 2026 | 6 pm onwards @ernestconcepcion @electricoolaid “Child World Grotto is nostalgia worship to something ephemeral yet still dynamic and alive. This collaboration is raw, so the primary concept is to simply “react” and explore spaces, non-linear forms and figurative compositions. There are no rules or limitations on the canvas; instead there is pure blind faith that the body of work will be extraordinary. The medium already exists and serves as a tool; there is no inherent significance beyond that. There is also no specific message but to live and die in the moment and repeat that cycle. Ultimately, we want to convey some humanity in imperfection.” DM us for the catalogue. #ModekaArt

Recapping February - National Arts Month - in full color. Nothing short of spectacular, from @artfairph @altphilippines , interviews at the @natmuseumph , @metmuseummanila , and a trip down memory lane at my alma mater @up.edu.ph @up_cfa - it was a month immersed in ideas, craft and fearless possibilities. Finished it off with the last day of @jigger_cruz ’s show at The M, a last note to a visual season. Grateful for the conversations, the reconnections and the constant reminder that Ph art is so alive and evolving. No matter the noise. @art._culate @beans.ph

As the Lunar New Year arrives, Art Forward launches another initiative, one that lives online, carrying purpose beyond the canvas. This February, we launch our Online Art Catalog, a curated gathering of generous works by artists who believe that art can be both beautiful and transformative. Each piece in this collection holds its own story—dreamy, contemplative, textured, luminous—and together they form a shared gesture of care. Part of the proceeds will support Handicapped Center Lourdes Incorporated (HCL), a home and learning community for orphaned and neurodivergent children located inside the Caritas compound in Manila. Through their art program, these children explore creativity as a language—building confidence, emotional expression, and multidisciplinary skills that shape how they move through the world. Art becomes more than an activity; it becomes a lifeline, a teacher, a companion. This catalog will be available from today through June 2026, and we’ll be sharing everything through one accessible link—so you can discover the artists, explore the works, and participate in this quiet act of giving, wherever you are. Consider this an invitation: to collect art, to support futures, and to be part of something tender and lasting. Art, after all, moves forward when we move together. #ArtForwardMNL #contemporaryart
