ManilART 2013, the country's hottest contemporary art fair was held from October 10-13 at the SMX Convention Center, SM Aura Premier in Taguig. "Celebrating Variety" was this year's theme which highlighted the fact that the fair focused on talents and participated by art galleries/art groups from various regions in the country, e.g. Batanes, Baguio, Bacolod, Bohol, Cebu & Palawan.
The by-invitation only Gala Night was held last October 9 and was attended by artists, collectors, and art aficionados. Here are some photos we took that evening:
