MaArte Fair 2024 promises bigger and better exhibitsThere’s a growing demand and appreciation for arts here in the Philippines. The success of this year’s MaArte Fair held last Aug. 2-4, 2023, at The Peninsula Manila is a testament to that.
Meanwhile, in an interview with Manila Bulletin Lifestyle, Max Ventura, trustee of MFPI, disclosed that MaArte increased its sales compared to last year. “We have more exhibitors this time around. From the previous 94 tenants, we had 120 this year, and we had 10,000 foot traffic for the three day fair,” he says. “We had more varied categories in exhibitors, we even had plants and liquors. We offered a more varied experience for the shoppers.
“We want the youth to be involved and be aware that there is a Museum Foundation that can actually protect and preserve historical artifacts. Getting the younger generation is very important because we need people after us to continue the work,” Blen Fernando, MFPI, trustee says. “So far we see the involvement of youth but that’s not enough. We need to be three-steps ahead to secure the future. We want to engage the younger generation.
