Channel the artist in you at Araneta City this National Arts Month

If you’re looking for a place to be this National Arts Month, Araneta City offers a variety of ways to channel the inner artist or art enthusiast in you. Check out what Araneta City has in store for painters, musicians, or art appreciators this National Arts Month!


First, drop by the MacArthur Activity Area at Ali Mall to visit the Love of Art Festival. In line with the advocacy to support local artists and creatives, this art fair features unique, handcrafted art pieces by artists of varying ages and professions. Students, senior citizens—even lawyers and a pilot with a strong passion for the arts aside from their main profession!

From intricate paintings to handmade accessories; the abundance of artistry and creativity among these local artists will leave you in awe.

The Love of Art Festival will be at the MacArthur Activity Area, Ali Mall, until February 28th. Visit the art fair before the month ends to watch live painting sessions and participate in crafting workshops!
