We're bringing in some of the most gifted individuals in the industry so their works can be accessed by more people. It is our hope that the community can support more Filipino artists," said Karmela Jesena, General Manager of Festive Walk Iloilo.


More than 200 artworks will be on display and available for selling. To give more delight to guests, weekly activities like painting workshops, live entertainment, and more thrilling events will be open to everyone for free.


"We are happy to be extending our support to local artists, and we are always open to collaborating with the government in their pursuit of promoting local arts and culture," Jesena added.
