Manila Prince Hotel Hosts HATCH Emergence this July

The Manila Prince Hotel is proud to host HATCH Emergence: A Fusion of Filipino Street Art, an eye-catching exhibit that celebrates the bold creativity of both seasoned and emerging Filipino artists. Running until July 31, 2025, the exhibit transforms the hotel’s window display into a vibrant gallery of contemporary urban expression.

HATCH is an annual art initiative by Manila Bulletin that highlights local talent through painting on an unconventional canvas—an acrylic egg. This year’s showcase marks a special milestone as it forms part of Manila Bulletin’s 125^th anniversary celebration.

Curated to spotlight the dynamic landscape of Filipino street art, HATCH Emergence features a collection of one-of-a-kind artworks painted on acrylic eggs. Each piece blends elements of pop culture, street narratives, and toy-inspired aesthetics. Together, they offer a fresh and playful take on Filipino creativity.

This year’s featured artists includes an impressive roster of talents: Jade Suayan, Trip63, Creon Chkn, Blic, Exld Manila, Distort Monsters, Gerilya (Jano and Mar Gonzales), Wesley Valenzuela, Isobel Francisco, Lianne Steffi Lim, Reen Barrera, Egg Fiasco, and Quiccs. 

“We are honored to provide a space where creativity can be seen, celebrated, and shared with the community,” said Marvin Kim Tan, vice president for sales and marketing of Manila Prince Hotel. “HATCH Emergence reflects our continued support for local talent and our commitment to offering cultural experience to our guests.”

HATCH Emergence is installed at Manila Prince Hotel’s window display, offering free access to both hotel guests and the general public. Admission is free. For inquiries, call +632 5328 2222 or email info@manilaprince.com.
