Latag Lokal Hosts Art Market for Budding Art Boothers

Art grows from the grassroots of the mind.

Art collective Latag Lokal will hold the second week of its Tabi Tayo community art market from July 3 to 5.

The three-day, free-entry market will feature 10 artists, all of whom are either new to the art market scene or students using art as a side gig.

Latag Lokal representative Aji Imperio stated that the lineup for the two-week event was screened based on their exposure to the scene, specifically choosing creators who are just starting out or have rarely attended art events in Manila.

Imperio added that artists across both weeks paid no table fees, a common expense for exhibitors during art markets. She explained that waiving these fees is her way of giving back to the community as an artist herself.

The second week of the event would include artists BB. Clouie, Paperthoughts, Megel, and Ziercat among others.

The Tabi Tayo art market will be hosted at Clouds Cafe in Quezon City, with no tickets required to attend.
