    The festivities kicked off with a performance by up-and-coming artist BP Valenzuela. She mesmerized the audience with her own compositions like Even If You Ask Me. Then, internationally-acclaimed artist Nate Frizzell went on stage to talk about the inspiration behind his work. He wants his work to be relatable and something that the public can interact with at the same time.

    As the evening progressed, more musical acts like Severo and She’s Only Sixteen performed. Original Philippine Music pride, Pupil, delighted the crowd with their addictive tunes.

    Art BGC The NextAct ONE aims to inspire and make a difference in the streets of Manila. The murals serve as a breather from the usual concrete buildings we see all over the metro. They are interesting conversation pieces and are camera-ready. So whether you just want to appreciate modern art or are looking for an extraordinary selfie background, head over to Bonifacio High Street, Primer readers!
