LAUNCHED in May, SMX Taguig, the third convention centre under SMX Convention Specialist Corp, has welcomed two major entertainment events into its calendar which is presently dominated by corporate meetings and seminars.
The fifth edition of ManilART, held last week, is the country’s largest visual arts fair. It featured works by Philippine greats such as Fernando Zobel, Romeo Tabuena and Vita Sarenas, as well as up and coming artists.
The other win is Circus Vargas Presents Magikaria, an American circus act, which will run from Christmas this year until January 1, 2014.
Marivic Marquez, assistant vice president for sales and marketing, SMX Convention Specialist Corp, believes that SMX Taguig’s features and location are key factors in helping the venue attract a wider roster of high profile cultural and tourism-oriented events.
Occupying the third and fourth floors of SM Aura Premier mall, SMX Taguig offers 6,358m² of gross floor area and leasable space of 2,552m², with three function rooms that seat 250-2,250 pax, and eight meeting rooms for 36-255 pax. Kitchen and storage facilities allow for large catered events.
Parts of the mall, such as the open air Sky Park on the fifth floor, can support events and were utilised by the recent ManilART.
