If you're an art lover who's barely willing to spend on expensive restaurants and fashion labels, then spending big bucks on an art piece is probably impossible for you to do!--when the big-shot art collectors (a.k.a. Chinese businessmen & the Pinoy elite) are none but part of the meager 2% of the population.

…well, that was long before Art in the Park saved the day.

Art lovers no longer have to bank on marrying (slash hooking up with) an artist to own their own piece of creative heaven. With its tagline "An affordable art fair," expect more than just an ordinary day at the park.

The local artists need your support. Beyond loving what they do, they need to eat too.

…which makes this event such a win-win situation. Art fan: You can have your cake and eat it too, as no artwork will be priced above P30, 000. :)

Art in the Park promises you less of this...

and more of...

The way a burger ain't complete without its fries, a holistic hippie day just won't do without some music. Eargasm the day through with the chillest beats in the city: Sway to the tunes of Soulful Mood, and prepare to be serenaded by Diwa De Leon and his hegalong. 

Even hipsters can't live on art alone: Feed both your souls and your tummies.

To assure you an event that's smooth and tantrum-free, Art in the Park promises to satisfy your hunger pangs with its roster of concessionaires. With yummy stalls like Rafik's Shawarma, Windows Cafe, Nic's Bakeshop, and Golden Spoon, there's no escaping an all-happiness day at the park. Trust me, you don't want to see a bunch of artists go hungry, so be thankful for the food stalls. In case you do come across a starving one, make sure to buy its work. Aside from preventing a mood swing, you'll finally understand that they mean no joke when they say: artists need to eat.

It's Tara Soriano's 3rd time to join Art in the Park. She considers it a well-loved experience, and wishes to make her artistic mark the third time around. The event helps validate her art-making hobby, which compliments her creative day job as a jewelry-maker. "Not only do I get to support the National Museum, I get to meet a bunch of cool personalities who inspire me with their talent," she quips.

TS: I hope I get people to buy my new collection! Last year, I did an assortment of vinyl cats and dogs. This time, I'll be presenting my pyrography (drawing using fire as a medium) pieces; I worked on a variety of wooden items.

TS: I usually get to admire the other artists' works when I walk around during store down-time. My friends from the Invisible Sisters Foundation are usually present; I love their using recycled plastic-bags as material. Aside from their being creative and eco-friendly, they help support a livelihood project too. The rest of the artists' works are usually awesome; I just like absorbing the bounty of inspiration and creative energy that goes around.

With food, music, and art all lined up in one area, I'm definitely thinking, "who needs the mall?"
