Turning Makati into one giant, walkable art party
Art Walk by Ayala Land is back for year three

Envision wandering around Makati and unexpectedly coming across pop-up creative vibes, live performances and mind-bending exhibits while getting coffee or a ride.
That’s Ayala Land’s Art Walk, which is in its third year and has completely changed the city from the modern Makati Central Business District (CBD) to the electrified Circuit Makati. Art Walks is set to light up a few areas throughout Art Month this February, which runs from 30 January to 8 February. It’s meant to be visited again and again because who could resist learning something new every time?
Born as the perfect sidekick to Art Fair Philippines, it’s Ayala Land’s way of saying art isn’t a luxury since it’s the heartbeat of great communities. They believe culture weaves right into city life, turning everyday spots into meaningful hangouts that spark real connections.

Art spills out of the fair and into your daily grind
Art Fair Philippines steals the spotlight for contemporary chats, but Art Walk takes it further — straight into the places you already love: Ayala Museum, One Ayala Terminal, the Paseo underpass, Greenbelt, Glorietta, Ayala Triangle Gardens, Ayala Malls Circuit and even the future contemporary arts hub in Circuit.
Museums, malls, parks, walkways, transport hubs — art crashes the party everywhere, proving it thrives beyond stuffy galleries.
Stretching from CBD to Circuit, it stitches the city together with a thread of creativity, linking neighborhoods through shared “wow” moments.
At heart, it’s a launchpad for Filipino artists rubbing shoulders with global stars in these public playgrounds. Come February, dive into visual stunners, performances, installations and activations that pulse with Philippine flair — proving our scene holds its own internationally.
Meanwhile, artist-designer Dan Matutina crafted the whole vibe — visuals, flow, everything — thinking like an artist about how we stumble upon, soak in and feel art as we wander, pause and chat. His crisp identity and signage make navigating a breeze, no matter if you’re an art pro or a total newbie.
