What happens when artists come together to question the rules, challenge expectations, and imagine new possibilities?
More than 300 artists will gather at TOPS, Cebu City for Tops ArtFest 2026, a four-day celebration of art, creativity, and ideas running from October 22 to 25.
This year’s theme, “Building and Breaking Norms,” invites audiences to look at the world around them with fresh eyes. It is about the things we inherit, the traditions and ideas we choose to carry forward, the conventions we dare to challenge, and the possibilities that emerge when we are willing to see things differently.
At the heart of the festival are two of the Philippines’ most distinctive artistic voices, Junyee and Nune Alvarado, who will serve as the festival’s main artists. Joining the festival are the rockstars of Philippine art including Ronald Ventura, Romulo Galicano, Demi Padua, Charlie Co, Randalf Dilla, Dino Gabito, amongst many others.
