Alt Art returns for its biggest edition yet at SMX MOA

Alt Art is returning for its 4th and biggest edition yet.

Set to run from Feb. 12-15 with public access beginning Feb. 13, Alt Art will feature expanded exhibitions and dynamic programs in a floor area twice the size of its 2024 offering. 

Alt Art is organized by the ALT Collective. It will have nine participating galleries — Artinformal, Blanc, The Drawing Room, Galleria Duemilla, Finale, MO_Space, Underground, Vinyl on. Vinyl, and West Gallery — and will feature exhibitions by Christina Quisumbing Ramilo, Buen Calubayan, Julie Lluch/Kiri Dalena/Ben Brixx, Raffy Napay, MM Yu, Kolown/Christina Lopez, Mauro “Malang” Santos, Lesley-Ann Cao, and Iwan Effendi.

This year's edition will also unveil the inaugural group of artists for the new DISCOVERIES Section, "a platform for artists who we think deserve to garner more attention," Jay Amante of Blanc Gallery said in a statement.

The new program will spotlight artists including JC Mariategue, Jomari T'leon, Joar Songcuya, Allyza Tresvalles, Eric Bico, Gelo Cinco, Joanolasco, Rhaz Oriente, and Marco Ortiga.

“New highlights lead to new interests which lead to new conversations. We aim to bridge the gap between what is established, and what is to be discovered,” adds Mawen Ong of MO_Space.

Tickets for public days from Feb 13 to 15, 2026, are available onsite, priced at PHP 500 for the general public and PHP 250 for students. For more information, visit www.altphilippines.com and follow @altphilippines on Instagram and Facebook.

The Alt Collective last put up Alt Art in 2024, where a piece of work by John Lloyd Cruz was presented. — LA, GMA Integrated News
