MAKATI CITY, Philippines — From February 6 to 8, Art Fair Philippines returns with renewed scale and ambition at its new home in Circuit Corporate Center One, Circuit Makati. The relocation from its former venues signals a strategic shift, positioning the once-racetrack complex as a central gathering point for the country’s contemporary art ecosystem while strengthening Manila’s presence in regional and global art conversations.
The 2026 edition brings together leading Philippine galleries alongside exhibitors from France, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Spain. The expanded venue allows for greater spatial flexibility, accommodating curated projects, international showcases, and robust public programming.
One of the fair’s highlights, ArtFairPH/Projects, foregrounds both modern masters and contemporary innovators. Headlining the contemporary section is Imelda Cajipe Endaya, whose work explores domesticity, migration, and women’s empowerment, setting a critical tone that bridges historical modernism and present-day discourse. She is joined by artists including Ambie Abaño, Max Balatbat, Ged Unson Merino, Jon and Tessy Pettyjohn, and a group of Filipino diaspora artists organized by Berlin-based Sa Tahanan Co. Spanish artist Ampparito also returns for a third consecutive collaboration with the Embassy of Spain in the Philippines. The section likewise honors late masters Brenda Fajardo, Constancio Bernardo, Solomon Saprid, and Romeo Tabuena.
ArtFairPH/Digital continues the fair’s engagement with technology, featuring works incorporating animation, AI, and immersive media, including projects by TRNZ and the TLYR Collective. The program is complemented by ArtFairPH/Talks, residency initiatives, and the citywide 10 Days of Art from January 30 to February 8.
