Droves of young people and art enthusiasts headed to Makati on Thursday for the first day of this year’s Art Fair Philippines.

The annual contemporary art exhibition did not disappoint as the carpark-turned-gallery dazzled visitors with rich and diverse collections of paintings, mixed media art and installations.

The four-day event, which will run until Sunday, features artists from the Philippines and its neighboring countries.

Below are photos from its opening day:
