ALT PHILIPPINES 2026: Bigger, bolder and brimming with Filipino Art

ALT Philippines returns bigger than ever for its fourth edition at the SMX Convention Center, Mall of Asia Complex in Pasay, from 12 to 15 February 2026. With expanded exhibitions, taller walls and dynamic public programs, the fair promises to be its largest and most ambitious yet.

Organized by ALT Collective alongside nine premier galleries — Artinformal, Blanc, The Drawing Room, Galleria Duemila, Finale Art File, MO_Space, Underground, Vinyl on Vinyl and West Gallery — this year’s edition doubles the floor area of 2024, giving space for groundbreaking works in contemporary art and innovative curated projects that challenge and expand the Philippine art scene.

“Each gallery brings its own unique voice,” Tina Fernandez of Artinformal said. “This venue makes it possible for a broader audience to experience these perspectives in a cohesive way.”

Special Projects return, featuring conceptual highlights from Ling Quisimbing, Buen Calubayan, Julie Lluch/Kiri Dalena/Ben Brixx, Raffy Napay, MM Yu, Kolown/Christina Lopez, Mauro “Malang” Santos, Lesley-Ann Cao and Iwan Efendi.

ALT Philippines also introduces the Discoveries Program, spotlighting talents that include JC Mariategue, Jomari T’leon, Joar Songcuya, Allyza Tresvalles, Gelo Cinco, Joanna Nolasco, Rhaz Oriente, and Marco Ortiga. “We aim to bridge the gap between what is established and what is to be discovered,” says Mawen Ong of MO_Space.

With fresh programs and new artistic voices, ALT PHILIPPINES 2026 continues its mission to amplify Filipino art for collectors, enthusiasts and the global stage. Tickets are available onsite.
