The Ortigas Art Festival returns for its ninth year, taking over Greenhills GH Mall with two weeks of art exhibitions, live performances, and more, running from July 16 to July 31, 2026.

This year, the theme is "Elevate," fitting for a multi-sensory program that folds visual art, film, photography, dance, and live performances. Looking at the stacked lineup, visitors will be treated to works of National Artists Virgilio Almario (literature) and Salvador Bernal (theater design). Junyee, this year's featured artist, along with Agos Studio and the Cultural Center of the Philippines(CCP), complete the gallery roster. They are also joined by regional artist collectives from Rizal, Pasig, and Mindoro.

Photography gets its own moment with an exhibit by Born in Film. On the performance side, the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra and Ballet Barre bring energy, music, and movement to the people.

Programming is spread across the South Wing Atrium, the East Wing Atrium, the 4/F Tech Hub, and the Cinema 4 Promenade. Wear sneakers!
