The previous Type Kita exhibits have offered the visitors with an incredible showcase of local typographic art pieces and on-the-spot workshops by some of the country's well known hand letterers and calligraphers. For the bargain hunters, there will be plenty of handmade crafts and printed goods from local entrepreneurs.
This 3rd Type Kita exhibit promises to be bigger than before with over 60 participating exhibitors and artist sharing their talent for this event-for-a-cause. This holiday season, the Type Kita Exhibit will serve as a big Christmas gathering for enthusiasts around the metro! There will be live art, demos, art trade and gift giving activities that are perfect for holiday feast type lovers!
The theme, "Pass on the Passion", aims to foster camaraderie and strengthen the local type community during the Christmas season by focusing on the value of collaboration and sharing.

The proceeds of this event will benefit "PEARLS", a non-profit organization that aims to provide unprivileged kids with Peace, Education, Aspiration, Respect, Love and Smiles.

and trade skills as they develop their pieces, strengthening the idea of
sharing one’s passion through art.

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.

notebooks and leave behind the hand-lettered pieces as part of gift kits for
the kids of PROJECT PEARLS.
