Pinto Art Gallery is apparently a popular place in Antipolo. Especially for special events like a prenup sessions. I can see why. Take a look ...

The Pinto Art Gallery is pretty interesting because it's not only one space where they put the art works on the walls. There's all different kinds of art on the walls, in the garden, in rooms, on stairs ... The place consists of different spaces and gardens which you can easily spend 2-3 hours without getting bored. They provide a lot of comfortable sitting areas where you can just relax, think and appreciate the artwork.The place has a Mexican vibe with wide open windows, white walls, old timbers and flat rooftops that can serve as viewing decks. Going up and down the stairs can be a bit of a problem, though, so be prepared.
They have a cafe that is catered by Bizu. For the review, please go
here.
They allow photo sessions (ex. prenup) for a fee and you can also rent out the space for a small party.
Pinto Art Gallery
1 Sierra Madre St
Grand Heights
Antipolo City, Rizal
Tel: 6971015
Open from Wednesdays to Sundays
9am - 6pm
Direction: Coming from Ortigas Extension, go straight towards Antipolo. Once you reach the fork where the Capitolyo and Ynares center is located, stay on the right side. Drive for about a 100 meters and you will see a Sr. Pedro Lechon Manok stand. Turn right on the first road after that. There will be a small sign for Pinto Art Gallery. Drive through Grand Heights road until you reach a guardhouse, pay P20 and turn right on the first corner and you will soon see the gallery.
FYI when you go to the Antipolo/Taytay intersection, you won't be able to go straight to Antipolo since there is a barrier. You will be forced to go to the right side (going to Taytay). That is fine but do a U-Turn at the first available slot so you can go back to the right direction.
ReplyDeleteI always keep coming back to this museum. This is such a great place to relax and appreciate art. :)
