Vinyl on Vinyl Gallery was established in 2009 by Gaby Dela Merced. It was borne out of the desire to bring more appreciation and awareness to what was then an underground culture. It is dedicated to featuring artists seeking a showcase venue and exploring their craft.
Its mission was to bring locals who were often rejected by the mainstream to international and local exhibits of peripheral art forms. The gallery developed artists' careers through the years and solidified its unique identity. It continues to influence the Philippine art history course by taking intuitive risks, opening new genres, and pushing the boundaries that redefine art.
