Belmont Hotel Manila Showcases Filipino Art and Supports Youth Through “Hiraya: Colors of Life” | NEWPORT CITY, Philippines – Belmont Hotel Manila continues to champion Filipino creativity and community engagement through its seventh lobby art exhibition, “Hiraya: Colors of Life,” officially launched on November 4, 2026, at Café Belmont.
In partnership with Fili Artists, a non-profit collective of Filipino visual creators dedicated to promoting artistic talent across the country, the exhibition brings together contemporary Filipino artworks that celebrate culture, everyday experiences, and the diverse perspectives of local artists.
Featuring 18 paintings by seven Filipino artists, the showcase presents vibrant interpretations of Filipino life and identity, inviting guests and art enthusiasts to appreciate the beauty of familiar experiences through different creative perspectives.
Celebrating Filipino Creativity and Artistic Expression
“Hiraya: Colors of Life” highlights the richness of Filipino visual arts while providing a platform for local artists to reach a wider audience. The collection features diverse artistic styles and subjects, offering visitors an engaging cultural experience within the hotel’s welcoming spaces.
The exhibition also places a spotlight on women visual artists, reflecting Fili Artists’ commitment to uplifting female creatives and strengthening representation in the Philippine art community.
With artworks priced from approximately ₱15,000 to nearly ₱1 million, the collection offers opportunities for both emerging collectors and seasoned art enthusiasts to discover and acquire meaningful pieces.
Belmont Hotel Manila Hotel Manager Mayann Malapote emphasized the value of bringing together artists whose individual perspectives enrich the exhibition.
“Each brings a way of seeing and interpreting the world,” Malapote said. “Together, these works remind us that beauty can be found in the familiar.”
She added, “That a different perspective can move us, and that creativity has the power to start conversations.”
Art That Inspires and Gives Back
Beyond celebrating artistic expression, “Hiraya: Colors of Life” carries a meaningful social purpose. The exhibition serves as a fundraising initiative, with a portion of proceeds from painting sales dedicated to community welfare programs supporting underprivileged children.
Through this initiative, Belmont Hotel Manila and Fili Artists demonstrate how art can extend beyond galleries and exhibition spaces, creating opportunities to support meaningful causes and positively impact communities.
The collaboration reinforces the hotel’s commitment to integrating corporate social responsibility into its programs while providing Filipino artists with opportunities to showcase their talent and connect with audiences.
