They are the keepers of history, the tellers of stories found in the vessels that keep them. And now, they’re online.

Wanting to share the beauty of Filipino culture to a more diverse audience, esteemed gallery Leon Gallery will proudly hold its first online auction on Saturday, July 30, 2016 entitled Leon Exchange Online through the website LeonExchange.com.
The inclusion of new technology in their auctions is a way to shine light on the inimitable talent of local maestros, pique the interest of rookie collectors who would otherwise not be presented with the opportunity, as well as promote appreciation for local art.
