The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) is co-presenting Art Fair Philippines 2026, which will run from February 6 to 8 at Circuit Corporate Center One in Circuit Makati. Through the partnership, BPI is supporting contemporary art while making the fair more accessible and relevant to both collectors and the wider public.
BPI cardholders can enter the fair for free by presenting selected BPI credit cards, including Signature, Amore Platinum Cashback, Platinum Rewards, and Gold Rewards cards. This initiative aims to encourage more Filipinos to experience contemporary art and engage with the growing local art market.
BPI Private Wealth clients will also enjoy exclusive curator-led private viewings from February 1 to 3, followed by a Collector’s Preview on February 5. These sessions give clients early access to exhibitions and the opportunity to acquire artworks ahead of the public opening, highlighting the fair’s role as both a cultural and commercial platform.
As part of its wealth management offerings, BPI Gold and Preferred clients receive complimentary access to the fair. The bank is also hosting the BPI Gold Lounge for the third year, an expanded space designed as a place to engage with art and ideas. The lounge features works by contemporary artist AR Manalo, interiors by Filipino furniture brand Nooke Home, and refreshments by Proudly Promdi.
Beyond serving as a client space, the BPI Gold Lounge reflects the bank’s view of art as a space for dialogue and shared cultural experience. An exclusive panel discussion, Art for Generations, will bring together artist AR Manalo and curator-collector Norman Crisologo to discuss creativity and collecting.
Art Fair Philippines 2026 will bring together leading local and international galleries, curated projects, digital art, and educational programs. With its new venue at Circuit Makati, the fair offers more room for discovery and exchange.
Through its expanded access, curated experiences, and support for Filipino artists, BPI reinforces its commitment to contemporary art—recognizing its cultural value as well as its growing importance in the creative economy.
