Art In The Park returns to Salcedo Village on March 15, 2025, with a full day of booths and activities for its 20th anniversary.
Celebrating two decades of art and community, Art In The Park returns this weekend with a showcase of accessible works from both emerging and established artists.
Set within the green spaces of Jaime C. Velasquez Park, Art In The Park transforms the Salcedo Village landmark into an open-air gallery as it celebrates its 20th anniversary on March 15, 2026, from 10 A.M. to 10 P.M.
When Art In The Park was launched in 2006 by Trickie Lopa and Lisa Periquet, it started with just 12 galleries under a handful of tents. Two decades later, the free one-day fair has grown to include 60 galleries, collectives, independent art spaces, artist groups, and art schools.
This year’s participants include Archivo 1984, Art Underground, ArtBeat Collective, Boston Art Gallery, Tin-Aw Art Projects, UP Artists’ Circle, and others. Staying true to its values, Art In The Park donates a portion of every sale to the Museum Foundation of the Philippines, supporting programs that preserve the nation’s cultural heritage.
Beyond its charitable mission, this year’s fair spotlights contemporary Filipina visual artist Ayka Go, celebrated for her inventive work with paper and her talent for transforming three-dimensional forms into striking paintings. The weekend also features a live performance by Filipino Japanese singer-songwriter Ena Mori, along with curated sets from DJ Gaspar, Bernard Calma of Soulful Mood, and DJ Mav.
At the heart of this year’s anniversary, Art In The Park presents a special retrospective book, tracing how the fair has grown into one of the country’s biggest art events. Collectors and enthusiasts can also explore the Art In The Park at 20 Portfolio Box, a curated set of signed, limited-edition prints from 40 acclaimed artists, including past headliners like Bjorn Calleja, Carlo Tanseco, Demi Padua, Jomike Tejido, and Marina Cruz.
With a full day of booths and activities open to the public, attendees can wander freely and immerse themselves in the art form that resonates most.
