SM City Baliwag has transformed its mall atrium into a vibrant celebration of Filipino artistry with the launch of Art for Everyone, a week-long exhibit that makes visual art more accessible and collectible.

Art for Everyone 2026 officially opens at SM City Baliwag, showcasing the 310 artworks of at least 115 talented visual artists from Bulacan.

Running until July 17, the exhibit reimagines the typical gallery experience by transforming a public space into a dynamic hub where shoppers, art aficionados, cultural advocates, and collectors may discover, appreciate, and acquire original works created by at least 115 talented visual artists from Bulacan. More than just an exhibition, Art for Everyone is a platform that empowers local artists, including young and emerging ones, while also building significant cultural ties with the community.
