At this art fair in Manila, designer toys get their moment in the spotlight

The ManilaBang Show returns in November with an exciting roster of exhibitors and artists that put front and center contemporary art.

More than 30 exhibitors including Altro Mondo Arte Conemporanea, Kambal Gallery Hong Kong, Cebu Artists Inc. and Art Circle Gallery, will occupy the massive 3,000-square meter SPACE at One Ayala come Nov. 14-17 for the ManilaBang Show.

It has a stellar list of featured artists like Martin Honasan, Kiko Escora, and Bembol Dela Cruz but you might want to check out the show's New Wave presentation that will feature emerging, promising Filipino artists that "redefine fine art through their bold use of pop culture, bright colors, and whimsical characters."

Given the current Labubu craze sweeping up the nation, you might want to head straight to the Designer Toy Fest of ManilaBang where toys and art meet for a cool and funky experience. New Zealand's YOII, Filipino artists Mad Monkey, Pixel Dump, and Dyani Lao are just a few names participating in the Bang! Designer Toy Fest. 

ManilaBang will also hold talks about art and digital technology, managing your own art collection, and crypto. 

ManilaBang Show. November 14-17, 2024. SPACE at One Ayala. P300. Tickets.
