ASPACE Cebu: A Sneak Peek of Steem Summit's Venue

Hello Steemians!

Technically, this post is not a sneak peek of the venue. I just hope that this will serve as a guide for you on April 22.

Steem Summit is just around the corner. As the days go by, pre-summit activities are almost done. The remaining exhibit entries are now being judged by the panelists. Art and Poetry winners were already announced. You can check @steemsummit's post for that. In the coming 2 weeks before the summit, activities will be more on physical preparations and arrangements for the big event. This will be the time when I will ask for everyone's support, specially on the physical tasks to be completed.

Before the physical tasks, I would like to share one factor that could make or break the overall vibe of the event: the venue. A few days ago, @legendarryll, @thegaillery, and I visited the venue of Steem Summit on April 22, 2018.

To those who kept on asking me on chat as to where the venue of Steem Summit is, this is for you. I hope that this post will answer once and for all.

How to Get There

ASPACE Cebu is located in Crossroads, Gov. M. Cuenco Avenue, Banilad, Cebu City.

If you're from Talamban Area, it's easy. Just ride a 13C, 13B, 62C, or 62B PUJ from the terminal. If you're from the South, Colon area would be a better first stop and then find a 13C jeep. If you're from Mandaue City, Lapu-Lapu City, or from the North, Ayala would be a better option for a first stop. From Ayala, 13C near the terraces or 62C from Ayala Terminal would take you to Crossroads.

Crossroads is a lifestyle center in Banilad. What's beautiful about this area is that it features local brands and homegrown products, alongside with art, food, and entertainment establishments. In a way, it's a melting pot of what Cebu has to offer. This venue is fitting for Steem Summit since one of the objectives of Steem Summit is to showcase Cebuanos' passions and talents. Crossroads in itself represents Cebu, so it's a good way to promote Cebu in Steemit.

Crossroads is located across NFA Building. A little further across is IT Park. Along Crossroads is the Cebu Country Club in right and Samantabhadra Institute on the left.

Facade

Crossroads is inspired by Bonifacio Global City (BGC) where the walls are filled with murals and different artworks. It's a place for artists and art enthusiasts.

If I was not mistaken, ASPACE is the third building from the entrance.

Next to it is Qube Gallery where local artists and painters are being curated.

Interiors

ASPACE is a coworking space in Cebu where freelancers, artists, and students can rent the space and use the area to do their work. It's modern and sleek in design. In its full capacity, it can cater up to 200 people.

The photos below are taken when we got there to have some inquires regarding the arrangements for Steem Summit.

By now, you might have an idea where the exhibit will be installed.

See you all on April 22, 2018 at ASPACE CEBU, Crossroads, Cebu City, Philippines!
