December 12 and 13, 2015, 11am to 8pm, 100 gate fee at 1161 Pasong Tamo St., Makati City (formerly Bosch Building,
in front of Ambers), type lovers and lettering enthusiasts
will be in for a treat! The team behind Type Kita will be holding the 3rd
installment of their annual typography exhibit! The exhibit promises to be even bigger than
before, with over 60 participating exhibitors and artists sharing their talent
for this event-for-a-cause. They will
serve as a big Christmas gathering for type enthusiasts around the metro! With
live art, demos, art trade and gift giving activities, it’s the perfect holiday

The theme “Pass on the Passion,” aims to foster
camaraderie and to strengthen the local type community during the Christmas
season by focusing on the value of collaboration and sharing! Type-enthusiasts can give back to the community and share their passion to
others as well. Proceeds from the event will be for the benefit of PEARLS- a
non-profit organization that aims to provide unprivileged kids with Peace,
Education, Aspiration, Respect, Love & Smiles.
Activities for the event are as follows:
For this leg, exhibitors are encouraged to work and
collaborate with other artists to share their talent and
trade skills as they
develop their pieces, strengthening the idea of sharing one’s passion through
art.
ART TRADE/ TOOL SWAP
Art Trade Manila will lead an art-exchange activity where artists
and guests can bring their works or writing tools and trade it with fellow
type-enthusiasts. It’s like a massive exchange gift activity but more fun!

Some of your favorite local letterers will also be invited
to paint on wooden panels as part of the live art exhibit. Glass panels will
also serve as a big doodle wall canvas!

And because the venue will be bigger, Zig Philippines will
also be displaying large scale art murals as part of the exhibit.
INSTAGRAM EXCHANGE
Type Kita exhibits are also the best place to build your
network with fellow type-geeks! To further promote camaraderie, participants
will be given name tags for their IG handles so they can easily follow each
other and keep connected even after the event!

Christmas cards, design covers of blank notebooks and leave behind hand-lettered
pieces as part of gift kits for the kids of PROJECT PEARLS.
