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.

How to join

Buy one original. The number is yours.

There's nothing to apply for. The first 100 people to bring an original artwork home through Obramaestra become Founding 100 Collectors automatically, numbered in the order they bought.

Step 1

Buy your first original

Any original artwork on Obramaestra, at any price. There's no application and no minimum spend.

Step 2

Your number is assigned automatically

The moment your payment goes through, you get the next free number, from No. 01 to No. 100, and a welcome email.

Step 3

Make your roster card yours

Add your name, a profile photo, a short bio and your location, so the artists you support can see who backed them first.
