EXPLORE

The ASEAN Creative Cities Forum and Exhibition is a four-day event that is part of the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of ASEAN. It will explore the creative economy concept and creative cities at the Bonifacio Global City Arts Center located on 26th St, Taguig, Metro Manila. Here are some things you might want to know about the venue.

Bonifacio Global City Arts Center

The Bonifacio Global City Arts Center is peculiarly appropriate as the venue for this event as its mandate is to encourage the creative life. It provides space for individuals and organizations that wish to share their art, explore different mediums, and discover new ways of doing things. It promotes the creative experience by providing a platform for the expression of Filipino artistry, culture, and science. 

The Bonifacio Global City Arts Center is actually a triad of halls: the Alveo Central Plaza, the Maybank Performing Arts Theater, and the Sun Life Amphitheater. It is the hub of the cultural district and built by the non-stock, non-profit Bonifacio Art Foundation entirely through private donations. It opened its doors to the public in November 2016 and is located along 26th Street.
