August marks the month of nationalism – and what better way to kick it off than with the much-awaited annual art fair showcasing all things ethical, eco-friendly, and proudly Pinoy?
Now on its 10th year, MaArte, one of the biggest fundraisers organized by the Museum Foundation of the Philippines, Inc. (MFPI) makes a comeback at the Peninsula Manila – with an added twist.
Apart from familiar names in the fashion, accessories, bags, jewelry, scents, and home design industries like TDLG, Tim Tam Ong, Stockton Row, Aranáz, Good Luck, Humans, Oliver and Maude, and Oscar Mejia, MaArte introduces new brands to watch out for, specifically for the Pinoy Man Cave.
