Viva FilipinaZ!
As the “ber” months have rolled in, so do the throngs of bazaars that magically pop up, rendering everyone dazed, excited and confused about what to buy. Bazaars have become the go-to place for shoppers who wish to find unique and artisanal gifts for their friends and family. But which bazaars are worth the bother and which are best left alone?
Folks, whatever you do, do NOT miss the FilipinaZ Artful Living 2015 Art and Lifestyle Fair as it promises to be one of the most well-curated fairs in the country. Supported by Security Bank, Auto Nation Group, Rockwell Land, Toyota and Sen. Cynthia Villar, the three-day event differentiates itself from other bazaars as it functions both as a pre-Christmas bazaar and an art fair.
On the bazaar side, FilipinaZ showcases special products from Calima Jewellery, Marsse Tropical Timber, Happy Star Child, Pambahay by Halo+Halo, Chef Patrice, Unique Tunic and Tattoos by Lulu DK, Riqueza Jewelry and Knits by Aze Ong to name a few.
FilipinaZ Art and Lifestyle Fair is the only bazaar that is created by women specifically for women. Spearheaded by the Zonta Club of Makati and Environs, the proceeds from the fair will be used to further the many women-empowering projects of the club. Among ZCME’s programs are: Psychological Center for Sexually Abused Children, Empowering Women Scholarship Program, NO to Early Marriage and Teenage Pregnancy Advocacy as well as projects promoting women’s health and livelihood.
Among the many fabulous finds to be offered during the festivities is a collaborative sculpture by three renowned female artists Aze Ong, Charming Baldemor and Christine Sioco. Twenty-five limited-edition prints of a painting by National Artist for Visual Arts Federico Alcuaz will be offered to shoppers. The fair will also be the site where artist Ferdie Montemayor’s Trek Bike artwork will be unveiled.
(FilipinaZ Artful Living 2015 Art and Lifestyle Fair will be held at the Rockwell Tent from Sept. 25 to 27, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. For more information, call 0906-3632007.)
