yours truly at the
Art Karnival grand opening last April 21
|
Art is seen in almost everywhere that we go. It’s in our innate ability to appreciate art when it catches our fancy. Good thing that SM Malls took the initiative to heighten the senses of mall going Filipinos by promoting art that we can all appreciate in our daily hustle and bustle even if we are just passing through SM’s largest mall which is SM City North Edsa where summer is more creative with the ongoing ART KARNIVAL.
If you happen to
pass by at the Skygarden of SM North Edsa better take a good look around and
you’ll be surprise to see interesting works of art.

Last April 21, 2017
through an invitation by SM Malls, I was able to attend the opening of SM North
Edsa Art Karnival. I can say that I was truly blessed to take part in this exciting
and worthy event as one of the media partners of SM.
