In the heart of Araneta City, ibis Styles Manila launches The Style Curators—a bold artistic movement celebrating community, artistry, and self-expression. More than a brand program, this initiative offers emerging creatives, especially young talents in art, design, and storytelling, a platform to flourish. With vibrant venues like Le Bistro and StrEATs Coworking Café, the hotel reimagines hospitality as a playground for creativity and collaboration.
The Style Curators series is designed to empower emerging artists across the metro to uplift the next generation of visionaries—those who dare to dream, design, and explore whether it’s through visual arts, multimedia, fashion, or performance, In partnership with Studio ArtFix, the series features rotating workshops, artist residencies, exhibitions, and creative labs—empowering artists whose works are rooted in culture, compassion, and impact.
“The Style Curators shines a spotlight on Manila’s next generation of creative leaders,” says Erwin Dona III, Cluster Marketing Head. “At ibis Styles Manila Araneta City, we offer not just a platform, but a true creative playground where bold ideas are born and artistic energy thrives.”
The series kicks off with Palette & Patterns on July 5, 2025, from 2:30 to 5;30 at Le Bistro, Gateway Mall 2. Participants will customize handwoven native bags with cherry blossom designs while enjoying curated refreshments. Leading the session is self-taught artist and freelance art instructor, John Salcedo. Tickets are PHP 2,499 inclusive of materials, a bayong, and instruction.
On July 26, Strokes & Totes with Jethro Medina (Pintang Galà) invites guests to paint tote bags at StrEATs Coworking Café. The session promises a colorful, hands-on experience where guests will paint their own tote bags under Jethro’s guidance. The Style Curators continue throughout the year with: Calligraphy with Gabiee Arboleda (August), Coffee Painting with Nomer Husain (September), Clay Portraits with Ken Sioson (October), and an Oil Portraiture collaboration with Medina and Husain (November).
The ibis Styles Manila Araneta City invites everyone—artists or enthusiasts—to join a year-long journey of creativity, connection, and self-expression. For updates and registration details, follow @ibisstylesmanilaaranetacity.
