<div><br/></div><p>“Over the years, we’ve seen the market grow. Younger consumers are now more conscious about purchasing locally-made products that create positive impact–socially, environmentally, and culturally,” is an observation made by Cedie Vargas, Marimel Francisco, Maritess Pineda, Mita Rufino and Susie Quiros, Founders of the ArteFino movement.  </p><div><br/></div><p>Since the first ArteFino in 2017, it has been known to be country’s most anticipated artisanal fair.  Not to be dismissed as a mere bazaar for Filipino products, the fair continues to grow as an ever-evolving, inspiring cultural movement where Filipino creativity, heritage and craft are celebrated and nurtured.  Through the years, it has launched cause-driven homegrown brands that support social enterprises and sustainability.</p><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/967dd706-ba8b-4d15-8628-c8a0e3365072_af23 ad std_1.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/></span></span></div><div><strong>Related Story: </strong><a href="/living/tips/barbie-inspired-home-decor/36029" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">10 Barbie-Inspired Home Decor and Accessories</a></div><div><br/></div><p>This year, from August 24 to 27, ArteFino Festival 2023 will return to its home at The Fifth at Rockwell and the North Court, both located at the Powerplant Mall.
