J. Amado Araneta Foundation and Gateway Gallery present Gateway Art Fair 2025 on 2 to 5 October 2025 at Gateway Square in Araneta City.
An annual ‘admission-free’ art fair for emerging local artists.
A celebration of masterful creativity, Gateway Art Fair is envisioned to be the most happening art show in Quezon City. It is the venue that stimulates art exchange, cultivates new patrons, and empowers local artists and their communities.
GAF is mounted to support emerging local artists by providing a vibrant avenue for them to promote and sell their art, and to raise funds for the art and culture program of J. Amado Araneta Foundation, bannered by Gateway Gallery, the Araneta City art museum.
It started in 2022 at Gateway Mall 1 and moved to Gateway Mall 2 in 2023. This 2025, Gateway Art Fair will be at the Gateway Square, expanding its reach and breadth.
Now in its fourth year, Gateway Art Fair presents at its centerpiece 36 well-curated exhibits by promising emerging and mid-career local artists. These exhibits will be amplified by simultaneous art events: art installations, art talks and demos, films + music
Gateway Art Fair’s tagline is Live Your Art - a call to patrons to collect the art they want, to artists to create the art they choose, to art lovers to support the artists they enjoy, and to the public to celebrate the art of today.
