The 13th edition of the country’s premier art platform has officially welcomed visitors, as Art Fair Philippines 2026 launches at a dynamic new venue. Moving away from its traditional home, this year’s fair transforms the corporate landscape of The Circuit Makati into a sprawling multi-level exhibition, reinforcing Manila’s status as a vibrant cultural hub in Southeast Asia.
The Circuit Makati Becomes a Creative Playground
In the case of 2026, the incidental has replaced Circuit Corporate Center One. The organizers have reinvented the architecture of the office building where floors 5-11 are turned into an immersive town plaza structure. This shift to The Circuit Makati allows for a more expansive presentation, accommodating 55 galleries from the Philippines and overseas, including participants from Japan, Spain, and Singapore. The shift of the location is an indication of a strategic step to mobilize the district as an emerging arts hub, to combine the fair with the overall urban beat of the city.
Public Access and Immersive Experiences
With Public Access now in full swing, visitors are treated to a maze-like journey of discovery. Among them is Highlights, galleries ArtFairPH/Projects, which features Imelda Cajipe Endaya, which addresses ideas of domesticity and empowerment. At the same time, the Digital section challenges AI and VR installations. The fair continues to be dedicated to access through guided tours and interactive sessions to make sure that contemporary art is accessible even to students, collectors, and everyday enthusiasts.
