Filipino art titans and emerging artists gathered for one of the most anticipated art events of the year – the Gateway Art Fair at Quantum Skyview at New Gateway Mall 2 in Araneta City from September 26-29.

The third edition of the fair featured 30 exhibitors and over 1,000 works of art, showcasing the rich artistry of Filipinos from all over the country.

Organized by Gateway Gallery under the J. Amado Araneta Foundation (JAAF), this year’s Gateway Art Fair with the theme “Live Your Art” invited both seasoned collectors and new enthusiasts to immerse themselves in the talents and perspectives of Filipino artists.
