Everything You Need to Know About Art in the Park 2023
Art in the Park is a fundraising event for the benefit of the Museum Foundation of the Philippines, which supports the projects of the National Museum of the Philippines.
"Art, in many ways, is an investment. The connection each artwork makes its owner feel is the emotion that connects one stranger to another. BPI supports Art in The Park as it enables Filipinos and art enthusiasts to build connections that make the industry further flourish," said Jenny Lacerna, BPI Product and Sales Head of Unsecured Lending and Cards, in a statement.
Over 60 exhibitors, which include art galleries, art collectives, independent art spaces, and student groups, are participating in this year's Art in the Park.
