The Philippines is a country with a rich and vibrant art scene, where numerous artists have etched their names in the history of the Filipino art community.

Financial aid is essential no matter which field you are in. Beyond just that, having your artwork valued by esteemed members of the jury and being labeled as one of the best to win an art grant worth 300,000 is the icing on top that provides you the edge you need as an artist to take your portfolio up a notch.

3. Meet your target audience

Art festivals are a hotspot for every art lover, art enthusiast and art curators of Philippines. Beyond just that, when master artists such as Ram Mallari, Bijay Biswaal, Bullet Demetera, and others attend, the event is definitely a beacon for the art community. This allows you the unique opportunity to meet with an audience that has an active interest in your art and gives you a unique opportunity to get in touch with them directly through the art event.

4. Platform to gain exposure

When it comes to getting exposure in the art industry, opportunities are quite scarce, which is why art festivals and art events are the best chances for artists to get together and immerse themselves in the art world. It is one of the rare times you get to be among artists from various backgrounds who practice versatile styles of art forms under one roof. By going to such events, you get to learn much more beyond just your knowledge of art and your art style, allowing you to gain exposure to various art styles by Filipino artists.

5. Get insightful feedback

Feedback is one of the few things which, taken positively, can greatly impact your growth. But getting feedback from well-known artists of the Filipino art community is tough. Therefore, visiting art festivals where you get the opportunity to meet such artists is important.

As an artist, getting your artwork displayed in one of the most prestigious art galleries in Hyderabad and India is a huge achievement. It not only skyrockets your art’s worth but also fulfills a self-satisfactory need to be appreciated for your hard work and talent. Hence, art events are a great place to be as an artist!
