The Museum Foundation is a dynamic volunteer organization with a heart for greater awareness for the Philippines’ rich artistic and cultural heritage. The foundation also helps elevate the National Museum of the Philippines and various museum communities across the country by supporting their development programs.
MaArte Fair is the foundation’s annual flagship fundraising event that engages shoppers in witnessing the creativity and passion in Filipino artisanal craftsmanship through innovative items that resonate Philippine culture, arts, and history.
As it celebrates 15 years of promoting the excellence of Filipino craftsmanship and ideation, MaArte Fair 2024 Fab Finds brings with it a purpose — to spotlight the country’s endangered fauna such as the Philippine Eagle, Crocodile, Tamaraw, Sea Turtle, and Tarsier.
“This year is all about discovering Fab Finds with a purpose to be bearers of modernity and history,” said Danny Jacinto, Museum Foundation President and MaArte Committee Chair. “More than bringing home beautiful and high-quality pieces, shoppers own badges of pride in sharing the awareness on heritage conservation, especially our endangered animals”.
MaArte at The Pen Fab Finds is at the 9th and 5th floors, Rigodon Ballroom, Garcia Villa and Balagtas Rooms and is expanding in two new locations at The Peninsula Manila Hotel – The Conservatory and Upper Lobby at the second floor. The fair will be open from 10 AM to 8 PM, starting August 29 to September 1, 2024, Thursday to Sunday. There will be 147 exhibitors who will offer an array of Filipino artisanal products and brands that are proudly Filipino-made and world-class, ranging from fashion accessories and jewelry to personal care products, home decor, toys & games, books, food & beverages, and more.
The fair’s profit will benefit projects of The National Museum of the Philippines and museum communities in the country, Museum Foundation’s research and project grants for their chosen grantees, and other programs & workshops of the organization.
MaArte at The Pen Fab Finds is co-presented by Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI).
