“At SM Supermalls, we recognize the important impact art has on our society. And everyday, we strive to foster emerging and veteran artists in our malls’ galleries and public spaces. We aim to create a world where art is not only encouraged, but is also deeply appreciated,” SM Supermalls President Steven T. Tan said.

The exhibit was hold last August 28 at the Level 3 Atrium of SM Aura Premier and at The Podium, Level 2 West Atrium last September 8 to 15, 2022.

With donated artworks from brilliant artists such as Danilo Santiago, Ral Arrogante, Fidel Sarmiento and Nelson Medina, the funds raised from these exhibits will be used for the completion of AAP Tahanan, a home for aspiring and veteran artists to nurture their talents and creativity, in Barangay Ulat, Silang, Metro Tagaytay.
