As part of its continued commitment to supporting local communities and celebrating Filipino talent, SM Supermalls proudly launched Art for Everyone on July 14 at the SM City Baguio. This nationwide initiative provides a vital platform for local artists not only to showcase and sell their work but also to connect with new audiences and contribute to a growing, more empowered creative community.

Now on full display until July 26, this year’s exhibit features more than 125 artists and more than 600 original artworks ranging from paintings and sketches to sculptures and mixed media pieces. Visitors can immerse themselves in an impressive collection of works that reflect the culture, stories, and soul of the region.

Whether it’s a young visitor snapping a selfie or seasoned artists sharing stories behind their work, Art for Everyone at SM City Baguio brings together all ages to celebrate creativity and community.

Art for Everyone also carries a deeper purpose.
