Art Karnival 2017

Experience a different kind of summer and shopping at SkyGarden in SM North for their Art Karnival Exhibit from April 21 to June 12, 2017.

The exhibit, which runs the entire length of the Skygarden, showcases unique installation pieces by each featured artist curated specially for the space by Vinyl on Vinyl. The exhibit runs Each piece in this exhibit was carefully selected and placed in areas that would bring not only the art piece itself to life but the surrounding area as well. As mall-goers walk the meandering path, installation pop out at them, drawing their eyes to their surroundings, stimulating interest. This whimsical almost fantasy-like world perfectly complements Skygarden's tenants. Instead of the usual summer activities, SM City North EDSA initiates a different mall-going experience through a voyage of discovery of the visual arts. Through a partnership with Vinyl on Vinyl, one of Manila's hippest contemporary art galleries, SM City North EDSA supports young artists Anjo Bolarda, Bato, Blic, Garapata, Jeffrey Jay Jarin, Tyang Karyel, VOV Studio and Whoop.

This edgy initiative by SM City North EDSA hopes to spearhead a new appreciation of art in the north. SM City North EDSA kicks off this summer with ART KARNIVAL -- an interactive and fun exhibit that invites people from all walks of life to experience art first hand.
