This year, Ayala Land celebrates the best of Philippine contemporary by hosting a grand art exhibit traversing across its properties such as the Ayala Triangle Gardens, Ayala Center (One Ayala, Glorietta, Greenbelt, Ayala Museum), MCBD (Legazpi Active Park), and Circuit Makati. From February 14 to 23, the 10 Days of Arts citywide will showcase a curated selection of artists, creations, and activities designed to engage the country’s thriving art community. This initiative brings art closer to urban dwellers driving a more holistic approach to community building and engagement.
The exclusive kickoff event took place at the Ayala Triangle Gardens on February 13. The program gave a sneak peek into the 10 Days of Art fair and featured the unveiling of select outdoor pieces and previews of artworks during the Art Walk activity. To complete the Art Walk at their own pace, guests were guided by a map detailing all the exhibit spots within all three clusters (Ayala Triangle Gardens, Ayala Center and MCBD, and Circuit Makati).
Divided into clusters, the Art Walk begins at Ayala Triangle Gardens (Cluster 1), where guests can find thought-provoking installations, photographs, and augmented reality paintings. The path continues to Ayala Center and MCBD (Cluster 2), where there are creative installations at Greenbelt 3 and Glorietta, portraits and large-scale live painting exhibitions at One Ayala Mall, outdoor sculptures by Briccio Santos at Legazpi Active Park and Seda Residences Makati, and special presentations and talks at the Ayala Museum. At Circuit Makati (Cluster 3), internationally-renowned artists, JEFRË and Olivia d’Aboville, share their masterpieces with the local audience.
At the Legazpi Underpass, Fotomoto showcases a digital exhibit with looped slideshows accompanied by an audio track, while at the Paseo-Villar Underpass, commuters can revel at the one-of-a-kind “Walk With Me” exhibit, which revisits the milestones that shaped the people behind the collection, the TLYR Collective.
The Art Fair also partners with the Ayala Museum to conduct a series of initiatives such as the series of tours from the “Zobel” exhibition including a Curator’s Talk with Felipe Pereda, and the “Fotomoto I/Land” exhibitions including a talk on developing photography projects with Raena Abella coupled with a panel discussion with exhibition jurors.
With 10 Days of Art, Makati is once again integrating art with everyday city life, offering new experiences and a refreshed outlook through art.
