Gateway Art Fair marks fifth year of opening opportunities for Filipino artists

 


Gateway Art Fair, Quezon City’s most awaited celebration of visual arts, is back with more opportunities for Filipino artists. It returns with the standard four-day art fair with over 200 featured artists from all over the country, free art workshops and talks led by art experts, interesting art installations across Araneta City, and more!

Presented by J. Amado Araneta Foundation (JAAF), the Gateway Gallery and Araneta City, and co-presented by Metrobank, the Gateway Art Fair will be held from October 1 to 4, 2026 at Gateway Mall 2. Annually held since 2022, the event reinforces JAAF’s main goal: to open gateways to opportunities.

Now in its fifth year, the Gateway Art Fair expands its support for artists with a capacity- building workshop, in partnership with the Department of Trade and Industry NCR Office, to empower them with marketing tools as creative entrepreneurs. This year also launches the first Gateway Art Fair Awards that aim to recognize and uplift artistic talent, with prizes from Boysen Paint Philippines, Art Bar, and a specially sculpted trophy.



“By investing in capacity building and creative entrepreneurship, we aren’t just putting on an art fair—we are helping artists step through the threshold into sustainable careers,” Diane Romero, JAAF Executive Director, explained. “We are elevating creative entrepreneurs, opening market access, and growing the Philippine creative industry, hand-in-hand with our community.”

Since its launch in 2022, the Gateway Art Fair has reinforced JAAF's mission of opening gateways to opportunities through art, culture, and creative development.

“Our core mission has always been simple. Every doorway we unlock for an artist opens a dozen more for our culture and economy,” Romero said.

Beyond showcasing artworks, the fair invites the public to engage more deeply with art through three days of talks and workshops led by Gateway Art Fair exhibitors and experts from the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts. These activities will run from October 2 to 4, 2026, at Gateway Mall 1.

Visitors can also immerse themselves further in art through installations by local artists located throughout Gateway Mall 2 during the art fair.

Artist Learning Session


Apart from opening doors for artists and art enthusiasts, the Gateway Art Fair continues to sustain the art and culture programs of JAAF. These programs help sustain the initiatives of Gateway Gallery, the museum of Araneta City, and provide broader access to art and culture for the Filipino community.

“When we open doors together, we don’t just showcase art; we empower lives,” Romero said. “Let’s walk through these new gateways together and make the fifth edition of Gateway Art Fair our most vibrant one yet.”

Natural ways to unclog a stuffy nose

 

Home remedies such as steam inhalation and eating hot soups can help with the stuffiness one experiences when having the common cold.



It begins with a sore or itchy throat, a mild headache, constant sneezing, achy joints and muscles, and a feeling of being unwell. Before you know it, you have a cold and just as annoying as a runny nose is a stuffy one, because it makes your head feel heavy and breathing difficult.

“While most people think it is due to an excess production of mucus, a blocked nose, or nasal congestion, is your immune system’s response to the presence of the cold virus in your nasal lining,” according to Paulo Angelo D.C. Catindig, MD, an otorhinolaryngologist of top hospital in the Philippines, Makati Medical Center (MakatiMed).

“As the immune system releases white blood cells to fight the infection, the blood vessels in your nasal passages become inflamed and swell. This narrows the airways, leaving little room for air and mucus to pass through. This results in the stuffiness you experience.”

A common cold lasts between 7 and 10 days; till then, there is no need to suffer through the stuffiness. “Nonprescription decongestants (in pill, syrup, and nasal spray form) work by shrinking swollen vessels in your nasal passages,” says the MakatiMed doctor. “Look for ingredients like phenylephrine or pseudoephedrine but take them only as prescribed in the package or by your doctor.”

A number of home remedies have also been known to help clear clogged nasal passages and make you breathe better:

Nasal inhalers, like the popular Hong Thai and Vicks, combine ingredients like camphor, menthol, and natural herbs that provide a refreshingly cool sensation when inhaled through each nostril. “It does not unclog the nose but rather gives a quick, temporary relief from the stuffiness,” explains Dr. Catindig.

Steam inhalation involves pouring boiled water into a large bowl, placing the bowl on a steady, flat surface, and leaning over the bowl while draping a large towel or blanket over the back of your head to trap the rising moisture. “Keep your eyes closed and your face about 12 inches away from the boiling water,” advises Dr. Catindig. “Inhale slowly through your nose. The steam softens and loosens thick, trapped mucus, allowing you to breathe better.” Again, this does not cure the underlying cause of your cold, but it does relieve you of the congestion, albeit temporarily.

Food is also an effective way to address nasal congestion. “Hot soups and broths soothe a sore throat, and the steam can unclog a stuffy nose,” points out Dr. Catindig. “Add a bit of spice to the soup, as they help thin mucus, lessen nasal swelling, and stimulate sinus drainage.” The steam from hot tea has the same effect; choose flavors with peppermint and ginger, which act as a natural decongestant.

Getting adequate rest can hasten recovery from a cold and the stuffy feeling that comes with it. “Remember, this is just temporary,” says Dr. Catindig. “With these home remedies and a few days at home, you will be breathing better in no time. See your doctor if your cold does not improve after 10 days and if it comes with symptoms like a fever, a persistent sore throat, pain in the ear, and difficulty breathing.”
