CLARK FREEPORT – In affirmation of SM Supermalls’ commitment to supporting artists from the local communities, “Art for Everyone” opened at SM City Clark here on July 1 and will run until July 14.
This year’s initiative that” transforms participating malls into vibrant art destinations” provides both well-known and emerging local artists with a platform to showcase and sell their work, engage with new audiences, and contribute to a thriving creative community.
Following the Gold Stevie Award-winning success of the 2024 Art Market, this year’s edition continues the momentum by spotlighting diversity and accessibility in the arts. True to its theme, Art for Everyone features a range of artists, from seasoned to first-time exhibitors, with ages spanning from 4 to 73, reflecting the inclusive nature of art.
A highlight of this year’s exhibit is the participation of children of diverse abilities, including Toni Pescador and Aljo Pescador. Their works are proudly displayed alongside other artists, demonstrating that creativity transcends limitations.

“Our goal is to make art accessible to everyone,” said Lourdes Alarcon, assistant mall manager of SM City Clark. “At SM, we believe that talent can come from anyone, anywhere. Supporting artists—whether they are seasoned professionals or children with special needs—is part of our mission to build a more inclusive and empowered community.”
The exhibit is made possible through partnerships with local artist collectives, art organizations, educational institutions, and individual artists, all working together to celebrate diversity and creativity in the community.
Many of last year’s participating artists returned for this year’s edition, joined by new names eager to share their work. The result is a collective testament to the impact of SM’s sustained support for the local creative community.
