To celebrate the milestone 80th year of Maritess M. Pineda, Art House recently mounted a retrospective show from 24 to 27 October at the South Court of the Power Plant Mall, “Terno: Celebrating a Legacy Forged from Design and Art.”

The exhibition featured eight decades of patronage for Philippine art and design bringing together eight contemporary artists as they reflect and respond to eight masterful designs that became milestones in the life of a patron.

“It felt more meaningful and purposeful to come up with an exhibit than to throw another party,” reflects the patron, and co-founder for ArteFino and Friends of Manansala Foundation.

Maritess is also a member of the board of directors of Art House.

“It was important to have an activity that would tell the story of Philippine art, heritage and design,” she said.

Art House founder Carlo Pineda explained, “My mom has always been a supporter of Philippine fashion and art. Her journey as a patron of both presented us with a beautiful proposition to blend fashion and art in one space.”
