DTI and MSME’s fair at the 2016 SikatPinoy National Arts & Crafts Fair in Megamall at the Megatrade Hall 1-3 on October 26 to 30.
The trade fair focuses on the Philippine arts and crafts from across the regions in the country with innovative expressions with 2 main components:
(1) Crafts that broadly refer, but not limited to, ornaments, jewelry, interior fixtures, fashion accessories, fabric, and related objects
(2) Contemporary Art that crosses the conventional divide between art and craft.
Exhibitors were carefully chosen from the different regions based on stringent criteria. According to DTI-BDTP Director Rhodora M. Leaño, “We want the 2016 SikatPinoy National Arts & Crafts Fair to promote craft practices that are strongly rooted in local environments, but are, at the same time, responsive to the demands of a new global esthetic, attentive to cosmopolitan strategies, conscious of ecological issues, and open to experimentation in the area of material and design.”
Opening the exhibit on October 26, 2016 are the following personalities: Senator Juan Miguel “Migz” F. Zubiri, Trade, Commerce and Entrepreneurship and Cooperatives Committee Chairperson, Senate of the Philippines; Congressman Ferjenel G. Biron, M.D., Chairperson, Trade and Industry Committee, House of Representatives; and DTI Undersecretary for Industry Promotion Group Nora K. Terrado.
The entrance to the fair is FREE.
