Most bustling cities are noted for their skyscrapers, busy avenues and throngs of people rushing to and from their offices. These cities, in all respects, have indeed become concrete jungles, but not Makati. Now, the master-planned city has become a thriving, dynamic community, one that nurtures not only progress and productivity, but also an appreciation for the arts.
More than just being an economic capital, Makati has always been a center for art, integrating into its development key venues for art such as the Ayala Museum and The Link Carpark in Ayala Center which serves as the home of the annual Philippine Art Fair. The recent 8th edition last February was even bigger, with more than 44,000 visitors and more talented artists — both local and international —who joined the roster.
