Art in the Park 2020 is Going Online This August

After its suspension earlier this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Art in the Park is going online from August 10 to 17 at www.artinthepark.ph.Ā 

53 exhibitors representing galleries, art collectives, independent art spaces, and student groups will once again showcase a wide range of artworks that will surely appeal to a broad array of tastes and styles. Prices of artworks are still capped at P50,000 with many art lovers set to score coveted pieces for even far less.Ā 

Just as it has done since 2006, Art in the Park will donate a portion of all sales to the Museum Foundation of the Philippines in support of their projects and programs for the National Museum of the Philippines and its network.  

Art in the Park continues to partner with Globe for the Globe Platinum Hour to present the special exhibit Isometric Ay! lah, lah, land… featuring colorful prints and paintings of artist Richard Quebral.  A collection of works from Reena Gabriel will also be available exclusively for Globe Platinum members. 

Quebral will offer Art in the Park visitors a rare glimpse into his art-making process through a series of videos that will be launched on Art in the Parkā€™s website and social media accounts.
