GH Young Artists Festival Debuts: A Creative and Interactive Experience This Love Month at GH Mall

From the creative minds behind the renowned Ortigas Art Festival comes a fresh creative and interactive experience. For those looking for date ideas this love month, the first GH Young Artists Festival at GH Mall from February 12 to February 26 is sure to bring a unique blend of vibrance and innovation from both artists and visitors alike.

The first GH Young Artists Festival, a free immersive exhibit, officially opens in GH Mall, San Juan City. (L-R) Renato Habulan, Lead Curator for GH Young Artists Festival; Monique Castañeda, AVP and Head of Ortigas Malls Marketing; Mayumi Habulan, Project Manager for GH Young Artists Festival; Honorable Atty. Angelo Agcaoili, Vice Mayor of San Juan City; Maritess Ortigas; Cathy Dueñas, AVP and Head of Ortigas Malls Leasing.

In partnership with Agos Studio, the GH Young Artists Festival puts the spotlight on emerging young artists from different parts of the Philippines. GH Mall’s East Wing Atrium was transformed into a hub that showcases beautiful, dynamic pieces in a non-traditional space.

With the theme, “Art For[ward]: Art that transcends borders,” the festival amplifies underrepresented voices that push art forward and shape the future. It is ultimately a platform that doesn’t gatekeep art – it is free and encourages people, especially the youth, to be active participants in various artworks.

For two weeks, visitors of all ages can check out exhibits for free and experience various interactive spaces and workshops that will bring out their creative sides.

A wealth of unique perspective and strokes. Paintings by emerging artists and art collectives from Metro Manila, Pangasinan, and Iloilo at GH Young Artists Festival.

Free exhibits by innovative Filipino artists

The GH Young Artists Festival features free artist-run exhibits with a diverse selection of paintings, sculptures, and interactive art pieces. They are run by the country’s up-and-coming innovative artists from Agos Studio, Thombayan Art Space, Thrive Art Projects, Fu Bear and Friends, UP Diliman’s collective of student artists, and many more. Award-winning Filipino artists Marge Chavez, Kira Uygongco, and Rachel Anne Lacaba will also display their diverse portfolio of works.

 

Visitors must keep their eyes out on interactive artwork that they’re free to touch. One is Orland Espinosa from Iloilo, who has a piece that allows people to mold and play with clay to help bring his art to life.

Leave your creative mark on the Community Canvas and photo wall

Apart from paintings and sculptures, you can also interact with installations, such as The Community Canvas. This encourages visitors to paint and draw on the installation to create a dynamic and unique community art piece. 

Interested participants can join by registering at the walk-in booth and pay the registration fee of P300 for adults and P150 for students (present valid ID), kids aged 5 to 10 years old, and Ortigas Community Card holders.

Another installation that’s worth checking out is the #ArtByYou Community Wall, where people can write their thoughts and reflections about the festival, and use the stickers provided to spruce up their musings. A selfie mirror is also installed in the wall design so visitors can take fun photos for their Instagram feeds. This installation is a twist on the typical community wall, going beyond the usual sticky notes and turning it into an engaging centerpiece.

 

Enriching art workshops for every interest

From February 12 to 25, visitors can participate in GH Young Artist Festival’s wide array of workshops. They can learn from the best in painting, oil pastel, carving, jewelry designing, and more. This is also the perfect date idea to spend time with loved ones this Valentine season.

Experience Christmas and make family bondings memorable at Ortigas Malls

Nighttime in Pasig City has just become a lovelier and more exciting sensory experience. This year, Ortigas East and Capitol Commons opened the Christmas Street Light Musical Tunnel and Illuminated Path, respectively, to bring festive moments to shoppers and families. Both attractions light up every night from 6pm to 10pm until January 8, 2023.

Known for its cluster of stores or “villages,” Tiendesitas houses some of the best antiques, handicrafts, fashion items, native food, pet and plant essentials the country has to offer.

 

Each Christmas tunnel arch has spherical lights and small tube lights that change color to the melody of upbeat Christmas jingles. It’s a lovely sight for families and individuals as they do their Christmas shopping or while grabbing dinner at the restaurants in Tiendesitas. Even cars that drive by Central Avenue will get the chance to see the vibrant display. 

 

People can safely watch the Christmas Light Tunnel display up close from the Central Avenue sidewalks. They could also take photos with the colorful lights as background when the road is free of cars.

 

Over at Estancia Mall, the Illuminated Path envelopes the Capitol Commons Park and surrounding buildings with a colorful light display. The modern buildings surrounding the park, which house premier global and local brands, as well as scrumptious food finds, are also decorated with projected images of snowflakes.

 

Together with lively Christmas music, shoppers will feel like they’re in a winter wonderland while strolling with their loved ones. Even those walking their pets can experience this immersive nightly attraction. Plus, there are many spots for photo opportunities to create lasting memories at Capitol Commons.
