Belmont Hotel Manila opened its seventh lobby art exhibit. The showcase is titled “Hiraya: Colors of Life.” It launched on Nov. 4, 2026, at Café Belmont.
The hotel partnered with Fili Artists for the project. Fili Artists is a non-profit collective of Filipino visual creators. The group champions talent across the nation.
The exhibition features 18 paintings from seven local artists. It highlights vibrant expressions of Filipino culture. The artworks celebrate daily life and unique personal perspectives.
The collection offers diverse pieces for collectors. Prices range from ₱15,000 to almost 1 million pesos. The display creates an engaging cultural experience for guests.
Female visual artists take center stage in this show. The collective actively uplifts women in the arts sector. Their contribution strengthens regional representation in fine art.
Hotel Manager Mayann Malapote praised the artistic collaboration. “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.”
“That a different perspective can move us,” Malapote added. “And that creativity has the power to start conversations.”
Beyond aesthetics, the exhibit fulfills a charitable mission. It operates as a fundraiser for community welfare. A portion of painting sales directly aids youth initiatives. Proceeds support programs for underprivileged local children.
Belmont Hotel Manila continues to promote local talent. The hotel integrates corporate social responsibility into its events. Visitors can view the display at Newport City.
