The City of Love will be filled with colorful masterpieces and artistry this December and you are invited! Come and celebrate the Iloilo Arts Festival 2021, “Art in the Heart of the Philippines.” Enjoy the work of our local artists in visual arts, literature, theater, dance, music, horticulture, street food, and other genres all over the metro.

Finally, we are here to launch the much awaited Iloilo Arts Festival 2021. It is really happening and it will be an annual event where we get to feature all Ilonggo artists and all their art forms from visual arts, music, dance, literature, theater, culinary and horticulture.

We had gone through so many challenges but we are proud to promote Iloilo artistry and let Iloilo City take its place as an Arts Center in the Heart of the Philippines. Through this, we are able to help the artists showcase their work and talents, which are still very much hidden undiscovered gems in the country.

I invite all Ilonggos to visit the many galleries, attend online activities, and our events all over the City this whole month. Please support all the Ilonggo artists. You will be very proud to be Ilonggo after seeing what they have prepared for you.

We could not have done this without the help of the City Government of Iloilo through Mayor Jerry P Trenas, IFFI (Iloilo Festivals Foundation Inc), and the members of the Iloilo Arts Committee who have given their time and ideas and their all out support to make this happen. And of course, to our sponsors for all the invaluable contributions.
