At the 2016 Art in the Park, I was able to purchase these limited edition hand-signed prints of artists whose works have covered the invitations of the event for the last 10 years. Each artwork was printed at 75 pieces, not a big number for those wanting to have their copies. Soon as the park opened, people already rushed and lined up to be able to purchase despite not knowing yet how much they would cost. When the price was finally announced, I saw no one fall out from the line even if they weren't inexpensive. Well, people who are keenly following the art scene in the country know too well that many of these artists have their original works priced at hundreds of thousands and even millions. The beautifully executed prints in giclee, individually hand signed by the artists all sold out in less than hour; a testament perhaps that many Filipinos are now starting to see the value in and of art.
