Art Tag is not a collection of galleries but of artists, artworks, collectors, merchants and their merch. Its mission is to connect artists and collectors to support the local art scene in the country. Its initiatives strive to create unique artist-led experiences and strengthen local art-driven initiatives.
Philip Abadicio has been a PR expert and art enthusiast for many years and his latest project and advocacy is Art Tag. His idea aims to benefit the artists directly and at the same time, provides a glimpse into some of the collectors’ artworks before it goes on sale.
The unique selling proposition of Art Tag is that art is directly sold by artists and collectors to the general public as opposed to other art markets or expositions wherein galleries represent artists and sell their works.
Art Tag intends to create two markets annually, one weekend before Christmas and another during the summer season, or what’s called “Tag-lamig” and “Tag-init”, respectively. The first Art Tag will also have a market for gifts, food kiosks, a Christmas caroling competition and fire pits aside from the sales of reasonably priced artworks by contemporary artists.
Participating artists include Popo San Pascual, Kutz de Jesus, RaiƱer Duhaylungsod, Xander Calceta, Reb Belleza, David Kaufman, Ruth Cancio, Isaac Sion, Dante Palmes, Dominic Escobar, Dante Enage, and many others.
The first Art Tag Christmas 2024 happens on the weekend of November 30 to December 1, 2024 at the garden outside Tag 4120 Restaurant & Art Gallery, Lagusan Drive, Brgy Tolentino West, Tagaytay from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. You can also visit their FB and IG pages for more information or contact 09209264120.
Enjoy the cool weather of Tagaytay while scouring the Art Market and then having some warm snacks from the food kiosks amidst the Christmas carolers in the background. This and more only at Art Tag Christmas 2024!
