The Founding 100 Collectors

The 100 Collectors Who Believed First

Every artist needs someone willing to bring their work home. The Founding 100 Collectors are the first to do that on Obramaestra.

Alongside the Founding 100 artists, they're proving that original Filipino art belongs in Filipino homes — one piece, one wall, one story at a time.
