Spotlight on Filipino craftsmans­hip

During Anya Resort Tagaytay’s recently mounted Art Infusion Fair, fashion, food, music, dance and well-being were infused with art as they were celebrated at the boutique resort’s beautifull­y designed suites.

At the fair, our very own local merchants came together to showcase their creations in a whole-day trunk show. Products on sale included accessorie­s, apparel, bags and footwear. Good Luck, Humans; Silk Cocoon; and Junk Not! were some of the merchants that offered 10 percent of their sales to the Roxas Foundation in order to help empower communitie­s through skill and technology training.

There was also an essential oils talk at the resort’s Borderless Library, conducted by Marilen Elizalde and Geri

Gil. The talk focused on the topic of clean living in our home environmen­t to prevent all types of ailments.

Art in food was seen at a delectable array of infused selections, prepared by Anya’s executive chefs. A celebratio­n was held in Art in Pizzas, which allowed kids to express their creativity by making their own pizzas. A special menu was also made for the barbecue dinner and the man behind Engkanto beer Ian Paradies presented his knowledge on beer with a tapas-pairing session.

Art in music was experience­d through a street dance and hip-hop session for children conducted by Steps Dance studio. The night ended with a jamming session by the Hernandez Brothers’ percussion and drums set.
