Celebrating Art in Island

Welcome to the newest art museum in the city! Art in Island in Cubao started operations only on December 25, 2014 yet it's become a popular destination among family and friends. Art in Island is actually a two-storey building along 15th Avenue, Brgy Socorro, Cubao Quezon City. It's right behind Cubao Expo. If you are familiar with Ali Mall, it is only within the vicinity.

Imagine a building loaded with 3d paintings that "come to life." Have your photos taken with these works of art as background and you look like part of the paintings themselves. Okay, I can't give justice to the paintings with my description... so let me just share some of our pictures.

Art in Island is open daily and the entrance fee is P500 for adults and P400 for kids (present student ID). If it is your birthday (not birth month) you get inside for free. Allow at least 2 and a half hours inside to really enjoy the place and pictorial.

Some tips:

By the way, shoes are not allowed inside so I suggest baon a pair of socks. You may go barefoot but the cement floor's kinda cold. try not to bring a huge bag because they can get in the way of the photo session. A slim slingbag will do. But if you really have to, like for mommies of toddlers who have to bring their diaper bags, better leave them in the car, or at the deposit counter at the lobby.

Monopods and tripods are not allowed. Make sure you check out the stickers on the floor that tell you the best angle to take the pictures. There are also sample poses on the walls but it's always better if you get more creative with your originals.

Be conscious of your framing. Avoid the ceilings and the people/bags/paintings around, to achieve more authentic-looking photos.

Try not to pick a fight with other guests as the place can get crowded on weekends and taking photos can be such a challenge for those who, like me, are a bit impatient with those who take so much time before leaving a particular scenery.
