Art in the Park 2023 | Sights & Highlights

Art in the Park has finally opened to the public, and it was the most crowded event for a whole day affair. If last year was only opened to a very few individuals who are well aware of the event, this year was a full-on event from sun up to sun down at the Jaime C. Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village. The plethora of art galleries participating this year was not enough to put them together inside the public park. There were familiar faces and first-time participants that have been active in their own events each month. But the really big takeaway is the success of the event’s return after two-year hiatus. Last year was just the ‘appetizers’ of the sort to getting art aficionados, but this year it was publicly open.

There was art, music, and participating vendors from the usual Saturday Market, which are all here up to the closing hours of the event. Despite being nearby, it was almost at the tail-end of the event arriving at the peak of its powers when a huge crowd came by grabbing some drinks and opening up a good convo with a random stranger that makes this one of the social events to be part of it.

From paintings to art installations, you get to see people from all walks of life have an affinity and appreciation for art. There are first-timers like Komiket known for organizing their events like the Art Market compos of komiks, prints, stickers, and other forms of the published content.

The art toy scene is well represented with one participating exhibitor carrying most of the independent creator’s works that you don’t usually see anywhere. It was certainly a variety of art forms converging into one location. With that, you don’t need to pay for entrance just to be part of the experience and it welcomes everyone who would have the curiosity and see art as subjectively as possible.

There are a lot of images taken in this event, and in case you missed out on what’s been happening here are some of those captured for you to browse down below:
