In 1995, SM Megamall hosted the inaugural Chan Lim Family exhibit, showcasing beautiful watercolor paintings featuring serene subjects such as landscapes, flowers, and animals. Pioneering the “art row in a mall” concept through Art Walk in 1992, SM Megamall initiated the advocacy to promote arts and culture.
“Over the years, the Chan Lim family has not only contributed beautiful pieces of art but also dedicated themselves to nurturing the artistic spirit in others. To date, a total of 9,200 individuals have participated in the Chan Lim free painting workshops held at SM Supermalls nationwide, fostering a love for art within our communities,” said SM Supermalls Assistant Vice President for Operations Ian Mathay.
Coinciding with February as National Arts Month, this year’s event is the 50th exhibition for the Chan Lims. It features new explorations in traditional Chinese brush painting, including artworks on ceramic plates and parasols.
With a total of 460 artworks by 65 artists, this milestone represents 50 shows hosted at SM Supermalls, highlighting the success of the partnership in offering a distinctive mall experience.
