What is ArteLingo?

ArteLingo is a three-day multilingual art and book fair to take place in October, which is also the United Nations Month.

This event is not just for language learners but also for language lovers. Similar to many fairs, it will cater to students, young professionals, working individuals, families, and—due to the inclusion of constructed languages—fandoms of popular fictional works with fictional languages.

ArteLingo aims to become an open, engaging, and inclusive space where everyone can explore, learn, and understand languages with one another.

Venue

Ayala Malls The 30th is a shopping mall in Ortigas Center, a central business district. The mall is at 30 Meralco Avenue; hence its name.
