Question and Answer:

1. Q: What can goers expect from the event aside from paintings? 
A: We’re not only showcasing painters, ÄRT MÖD Fair is about celebrating all different art forms; so you’ll be seeing sculptors, calligraphers, illustrators, and crafters. 
 
2. Q: Do attendees have to buy art or is just browsing fine? 
A: Yes, people don’t have to buy anything. Upon paying the P100 ticket, they can browse around the entire day. We’re also giving away free passes so be sure to check our Facebook page. 
 
 
3. Q: Will there be pieces that are affordable to the lower-class people? 
A: Yes; ÄRT MÖD Fair is diverse in its selection of exhibitors that there is sure to be something for everyone.  
 
4. Q: Will this event be a yearly thing? 
A: Ideally, yes, we’d like to have a platform where artists are able to sell their artworks with a more hands-on approach; a place where casual art fans can witness great pieces of art within a convenient and accessible venue. We believe that this is a way for art to be better appreciated in the Philippines. 
 
5. Q: What particular activity should attendees look forward to? 
A: That depends on the attendee’s preferences, but we’re sure we can accommodate all the different tastes of the people.  We’ve got workshops for calligraphy and paintings from notable individuals in the art industry, we’ve also got crafts demos, and talks.
