Filipinos have long been known for their creativity, and there's always new local talent to discover and celebrate. For the past 10 years, ArteFino has been one of the platforms championing Filipino craftsmanship and design. Now back at Power Plant Mall for its "Isang Dekada" edition, this year's fair carries the theme "Heritage in Motion," highlighting how tradition continues to evolve through today's makers.

More than 100 Filipino brands have taken over the North Court, South Court, and The Fifth until Aug. 2. Admission is P150, with proceeds supporting ArteFino's advocacy arm, HeArteFino.
