.An Artsy Affair.

Artists, investors, collectors and aficionados were united last October 9, 2013 at SMX Aura Convention Center, Taguig City for the exclusive grand preview and gala night of ManilArt 2013, the hottest contemporary art fair in the Philippines. It's been such an honor to witness the grand opening of this event and we're very grateful to my SOFA (School of Fashion & Arts) teacher, Ms.Loida Hunter for allowing us to be part of it. The event was organized by the Bonafide Art Galleries Organization (BAGO) and supported by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA). It was pretty amazing we have events like these helping our Filipino artists in promoting their art collections all over the metro.

These paintings behind remind me of 50 shades of grey.

My favourite painting that night! And this painting costs 800k+. Sigh....

Relaxing music to complete the artsy night.

Cute dress forms! This painting reminds me of those days when I studied at SOFA!

Will attend Jessica Silva's basic acrylic painting class soon! Can't wait! I'm now so inspired to do it. :)
