SM Brings Its Nationwide Art For Everyone to Life Through the 9th Coloring Lives Exhibit

　　Running from July 21 to 26 at the Podium, the exhibit will raise funds for Nazareth Bahay ng Pag-ibig

　　MANILA, Philippines, 24th July 2026 - Art has always had the power to inspire, connect and transform lives. This July, it is doing even more by giving back to the community as the 9th Coloring Lives Exhibit officially opens at SM Podium, uniting artists of all ages and skill levels in support of Nazareth Bahay ng Pag-ibig, a home for abandoned elderly women. 

　　Organized by Sunshine Place Senior Recreation Center, the annual exhibit showcases an inspiring collection of works across various artistic disciplines, including watercolor, porcelain painting, ikebana, decoupage, and artworks from kids, beginners, intermediate, and advanced art classes. Each piece reflects the belief that creativity has no limits in its ability to make a meaningful difference. Proceeds from every artwork sold will benefit Nazareth Bahay ng Pag-ibig, helping provide shelter, care, and dignity to its residents。

　　The exhibit is one of the highlights of SM Supermalls’ Art For Everyone, one of the country’s largest and most far-reaching mall-based art initiatives, bringing Filipino creativity to more communities than ever before. This year, the nationwide campaign spans 26 SM malls, transforming spaces into vibrant art destinations and giving thousands of established and emerging Filipino artists an opportunity to reach wider audiences across the country. By making art more accessible for millions of mallgoers, Art For Everyone continues to champion inclusivity, creativity, and meaningful community engagement on an unprecedented scale. 

　　Artists come together to create diverse pieces specially curated for a good cause

Together with Sunshine Place, we hope this exhibit leaves a meaningful and lasting impact on the women of Nazareth Bahay ng Pag-ibig and inspires more people to discover how every artwork can help transform lives。”

　　Now in its 9th edition, Coloring Lives continues to demonstrate how art can bring communities together for a greater purpose. Beyond showcasing remarkable talent, the exhibit reminds visitors that every brushstroke, every masterpiece, and every purchase contributes to changing lives.
