SM City Baliwag Launches Art for Everyone 2026, Bringing Bulacan’s Vibrant Art Scene to the Public

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.


1.     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.

Officials from the Provincial Government of Bulacan, the City Government of Baliwag, and SM City Baliwag came together for a ceremonial paint pouring to formally open the Art for Everyone exhibit, symbolizing their shared commitment to promoting artistic excellence and empowering local artists in the province. Present during the ceremony were (L-R) Agatha Shaine Santos, representing Vice Governor Alex Castro; Rochelle Sabaybay, representing Governor Daniel Fernando; Baliwag City Administrator Eric Tagle; SM City Baliwag Mall Manager Rodora Tolentino; and Baliwag City Tourism Officer–CACTO Susie Garcia.

Officially opened on July 4, the exhibit showcases a total of 310 artworks that consist of paintings, mixed-media pieces, and digital art that reflects the province's rich artistic heritage and contemporary creative expression. The exhibit is mounted in partnership with the Provincial History, Arts, Culture, and Tourism Office (PHACTO), Baliwag Tourism Office, Alumni of Bulacan State University College of Architecture & Fine Arts, the JEFARCA Arts and Historical Society Inc., Bahaghari ng Malolos, Sibul, Katha, Lumina Art Group, Ugnayang Sining Tomasino, San Rafael Art Colektiv, and Lunday Hagonoy Art Group.

Art for Everyone 2026 builds on its award-winning success as a flagship, advocacy-led initiative that champions accessibility, inclusivity, and community-driven creativity. Recognized globally with Gold at the 2025 Asia Pacific Stevie Awards and Gold at the 2025 International Business Awards, the program continues to redefine how art is experienced—transforming SM malls into vibrant cultural marketplaces where art is not only showcased but lived, shared, and made accessible to all.

"We envision our mall as a place where creativity thrives, artists may grow, and people from all walks of life can discover and bring home a piece of Filipino art."
