Advocating art for all, SM City Iloilo opens
the biggest art sale in this part of the region March 20, 2018 at the
Northpoint.
This is the second art sale organized by
the mall in partnership with the Himbon art group, which gathers both veteran
and upcoming artists offering their artworks for art lovers to afford even for
this limited time only.
While it is a common concept that art is
expensive and can only be afforded by the upper class, the Art Sale aims to
bring art closer to the community. The exhibit, which will run until April 1, showcases
works of known Ilonggo artists as well as upcoming and contemporary ones.
Their works, as any piece of art known to
be usually pricey, will be available at P5,000 and below just for the said
duration. These are not cheap stakes as these are expectedly to sell at higher
prices at the individual artists’ regular exhibitions.
Outstanding works of Ilonggo master Ed Defensor
as well as the marble pieces of Harry Mark Gonzales are just a few of the
showcases of the exhibit. Jeanroll Ejar’s unequalled wood carvings and Mia
Reyes’ strokes of the Panay Bukidnon woman are also up for grabs.
Vic Fario’s unique strokes and Gina
Apostol’s distinct style are also on display as rare finds for art lovers. Marzz
Capanang and Alan Cabalfin’s works could not be more elegant and exceptional.
Kris Brasileño, Alex Ordoyo and Kat Malazarte’s diverse flairs are a sight to
behold and own.
Exceptional works of Norman Acedera, Dodjie
Tan, Anthony Fermin, Carlo Arevalo, El Dosado, James Mark Salarda, Jeffrey
Gunlao, Joey Isturis, Roman Sanares, and Tyrone Dave Esponosa are also on
display.
Art lovers and enthusiasts can also avail
of works of young contemporary artists when they visit the exhibit, which is
located near the Ace Hardware at SM City Northpoint.

As can be recalled, SM City Iloilo launched
The My City , My SM, My Art in January 2017 to honor Ilonggo master artist Ed
Defensor and other respected Ilonggo artists. The aim of the project is to
bring people and art together and was in partnership with the National
Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), The Philippine Star, Centerstage
Productions and the Metropolitan Museum of Manila.
At SM City Iloilo, Ilonggos can expect more
art exhibits and projects that support the local art community in the city and
province of Iloilo as well as the Western Visayan region.
