The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) is partnering with Art in the Park, the country’s most popular and affordable art fair. Art in the Park is celebrating 15 years of championing Philippine artistry with eight days of a virtual open house, featuring 60 exhibitors and over 6,000 artworks by hundreds of established and emerging Filipino artists.

The annual treasure hunt will exhibit artworks on an online platform (www.artinthepark.ph) from February 21 to 28, to allow art aficionados to access the artwork while properly observing health and safety protocols as Manila remains under general community quarantine.
"While
there are changes with the way art exhibits are held these days, we still want
our clients to get the best experience with this virtual art fair from the
comfort of their homes. It’s about letting them re-connect with culture even as
this pandemic has cut us off from the world and public spaces. Our clients can
also enjoy special offers to make their Art in the Park purchases more feasible
and flexible," said Jenny
Lacerna, BPI Head of Unsecured Lending and Cards - Product and Sales Group.
Spotlight
on modern art
Art
Verité Gallery, one of Manila’s leading art galleries
today, is one of the exhibitors in this year’s Art in the Park. Specializing in
Philippine and Southeast Asian contemporary and modern art, Art Verité actively
promotes both its core established artists and promising new local and
international talents.
Art Verité is featuring seasoned artist Alee Garibay and new artist Jason Delgado. Both artists were chosen
for their originality, creativity, skills, and wit in the visual narrative.
Garibay
has received numerous awards for her works in oil and watercolor. She has been
actively participating in group shows since 2005, and has dedicated herself to
being a full-time artist, consistently holding annual solo exhibitions. Her
Disrupt 5 series plays with the feeling and state of disruption and suspension
of order.
Meanwhile, Delgado
was awarded the regional winner at the Philippine Arts Awards (Visayas
Selection) in 2020, and was participating in group exhibitions since 2016.
Delgado’s Compound Believe and How Much?
is a take on Filipino beliefs and how these affect our daily lives.
