Following its successful turnout last year, Ortigas & Company launched the 10-day Ortigas Art Festival to assert their commitment to bringing arts and culture closer to the people.
Now on its second year, the exhibit continues to put its efforts towards establishing Estancia as the art hub of Ortigas. This year's approach brought individual artists to the spotight, showcasing their creative individuality and placing them at the forefront of the art scene.
It was the idea of Renato Habulan, renowned social realist painter, to tap the various groups of artists from all over the country and give them a venue to exhibit their works. Ortigas Malls was receptive to the idea of promoting grassroots participation in the art scene No gallery representation -just artists working together, no admission charge for the viewers - walk through the art for free.
