Wazzup Pilipinas!? 

Presented by Robinsons Land ARTablado and Summit Hotel Greenhills

November 2025…..Robinsons Land ARTablado and Summit Hotel Greenhills present “Brewing Joy – A Holiday Coffee Art Exhibit,” featuring the unique and captivating works of Coffee Artists PH (CAPH). This festive exhibition at the hotel’s Red Gallery highlights the artistic versatility of coffee and reinforces the idea that innovative art can emerge from accessible, everyday materials.

Barun Jolly, Senior Vice President and Business Unit General Manager of Robinsons Hotels & Resorts (RHR), shared his enthusiasm: "Robinsons Hotels & Resorts is dedicated to championing the immense creativity of Filipino artists. We believe that by showcasing these unique works, especially through dynamic partnerships like this one with Coffee Artists PH, we not only support local talent but also enrich the aesthetic experience of our guests. This 'Brewing Joy' exhibit is a wonderful example of how art enhances the joy and warmth of our hospitality."

The exhibit is a compelling display where 37 participating artists explore the rich potential of ordinary coffee as an extraordinary painting medium. Showcasing over 60 art pieces created in 2025 and most being shown to the public for the first time—the collection depicts diverse subjects including landscapes, portraits, still life, and Christmas scenes that specifically reflect what brings the artist joy during the holiday season.

Coffee Artists PH (CAPH) was founded in March 2024 by its current president, Anwylen Fua-Gaño, and a small core group of pioneering artists. The group’s impactful advocacy is to “unlock artistic potential with coffee: an affordable, accessible medium.” Their message quickly resonated, leading the community to grow into a thriving collective of over 200 member artists.

"Coffee stands strong as an alternative medium alongside traditional paints," says Fua-Gaño. "Its rich, earthy tones can be as expressive and versatile as watercolors or oils, and coffee artworks last just as long, proving its merit as a serious artistic discipline."

The "Brewing Joy" exhibit also serves as the launch platform for the Traveling Coffee Artists Project, a new collaboration with the Traveling Pastel Project. This initiative aims to educate remote communities about coffee as an art medium. By utilizing local or generic coffee, the project promotes the community’s product while emphasizing coffee’s convenience and affordability as a creative tool.

Adding a layer of meaning to the exhibition, several art pieces are up for auction. All proceeds from this special auction will be donated to Summit Hotel Greenhills’ partner beneficiaries, Anawim Lay Missions—an organization dedicated to providing a loving home for the elderly--and Bahay Aruga—a halfway house for children with cancer.

All other artworks in the collection are available for sale, with interested parties encouraged to contact the artists directly.
