Art Forward Manila, Manila (2026)

25/02/2026

Art Forward launches another initiative, one that lives online, carrying purpose beyond the canvas.

This February, we launch our Online Art Catalog, a curated gathering of generous works by artists who believe that art can be both beautiful and transformative.

Each piece in this collection holds its own story—dreamy, contemplative, textured, luminous—and together they form a shared gesture of care.

Part of the proceeds will support Handicapped Center Lourdes Incorporated (HCL), a home and learning community for orphaned and neurodivergent children located inside the Caritas compound in Manila.

Through their art program, these children explore creativity as a language—building confidence, emotional expression, and multidisciplinary skills that shape how they move through the world. Art becomes more than an activity; it becomes a lifeline, a teacher, a companion.

This catalog will be available from today through June 2026, and we’ll be sharing everything through one accessible link—so you can discover the artists, explore the works, and participate in this quiet act of giving, wherever you are. Consider this an invitation: to collect art, to support futures, and to be part of something tender and lasting.

Art, after all, moves forward when we move together.

Art Forward 2025, in review.

Looking back at a year shaped by shared spaces, shared stories, and collective care for the arts.
From exhibits and gatherings to moments of quiet support behind the scenes, each step forward was made possible by community.

We are deeply grateful to the artists, collectors, partners, and friends who showed up, believed, and gave art a place to live and do good.
As we step slowly into 2026, we carry this gratitude with us 🤍

Through our collective efforts, we donated ₱226,000 to PGH Medical Foundation Inc., combining proceeds from our April–June exhibit and our support of the PGH MFI Art Biennial in September.

We’ll be releasing a few remaining pieces this year—do watch out for updates ✨

Thank you for being part of Art Forward. We look forward to continuing this journey with you in the years ahead.

Lala Jara Tuazon is a self-taught visual artist whose abstract works explore the delicate interplay of color, space, and suspended time. Through patient layering, she builds textured compositions marked by organic forms and contemplative silences—each pause on the canvas a quiet reckoning with memory and meaning. Her practice draws deeply from the emotional landscape of human connection, touching on themes such as object permanence, the evolving spectrum of feelings, and the quiet abstractions of familial bonds.

Jara-Tuazon has participated in numerous group exhibitions across Metro Manila. Her triptych *Pasasalamat: Usbong at Yabong* is on permanent view in the lobby of the Henry Sy Sr. Hall at the UP College of Medicine. Committed to accessibility in the arts, she founded Art for Education in 2019 and co-founded Art Forward Manila in 2024.
