Pio Del Pilar Gallery Frames

By | Arts and Culture, Finds | No Comments

I discovered this framer from a very good friend of ours! I had some simple frames done and it costs 1/4 the price of all the other framers I have used.  There was construction going on when I went about a month ago

She does for hotels!  They send her 250 prints of the same design and they have it framed to put around the hotel 🙂

Visiting Art in the Park 2014

By | Arts and Culture | No Comments

Congratulations again the Art in the Park!!!  It’s amazing how people are buying art as if they were in the grocery buying staples for their home.  Art is now a must in every Filipino home.   I was there at around 915am and people were scrambling before 10am to get first pick!  Philippine art is booming! 🙂  I could not stay long so these are the early morning shots

There were two booths with many cashiers and they were all busy!  This was before it opened so they were just getting ready

Art in the Park 2014

By | Arts and Culture, Proud to be Pinoy! | No Comments

Looking forward to another art event by the Museum Foundation of the Philippines!  It was nice to hear about the upcoming Art in the Park from no other than Trickie Colayco Lopa

And Nanette Reyes.  This year,  it will only be a one day event but it will cover the whole park including the area of the Salcedo Market and it will have longer hours. And there will be a total of 58 exhibitors versus 43 of last year so there will definitely be lots of new things to see this year!

Will have an installation called Elly Riders.  Watch out for them – you can ride them and they are also cabinets and drawers 🙂

Beautiful Maxine Syjuco of Art Lab is an artist from a family of artists 🙂  She will also have an installation of mixed media
