If there’s one thing mall-goers can expect of SM Seaside City Cebu, it’s an immersive mall experience. You don’t come just to shop but to indulge your senses in novel installations that will fill you with wonder and awe.

At the Mountain Wing Atrium, experience the grandeur of the AweSM Cebu Artscape from January 10 to 31,  where a massive art installation celebrates all things Bisaya. This expansive creation provides a contemporary take on the ‘sulog,’ capturing the graceful movements of water that serve as inspiration for the Sinulog’s forward-backward steps.
