Unleash the aspiring artist in you
From Baguio to its neighboring towns in Benguet province, one can find a number of ways to awaken and unleash the inner artist in you—from the famed Tam-awan Village where local artists’ works can be seen, to the BenCab Museum which houses the national artist’s masterpieces, along with galleries that showcase works of other renowned Filipino artists.
You may want to take photos of the three sitios of Stobosa in La Trinidad that showcase a cluster of colorful houses inspired by the Favela Paintings of Rio de Janiero, or you may consider passing by Ili-likha Artist Village, an art and food hub conceptualized by film director and writer, Kidlat Tahimik.
Baguio alone has also served as a nurturing haven for many up and coming artists as it presents an environment that’s quite conducive and inspiring. The people of Baguio see art as part of their rich cultural heritage and a way of life.
