This Year’s Ibagiw Creative Festival Pairs Baguio’s Established Art Community with Emerging Gastronomy Scene
Long before the
movie "That Thing Called Tadhana" influenced many from the younger
generation to see Baguio City as a destination for broken-hearted people, the
City of Pines has attracted a diverse range of individuals from various
backgrounds for a multitude of purposes. For artists, the cool atmosphere of
this mountaintop town fostered creativity, leading to a flourishing artist
community over the years, which resulted in the creation of the Baguio Arts
Guild, a prominent organization of artists founded by National Artists Kidlat
Tahimik and Benedicto Cabrera aka BenCab, along with the late Santi Bose in
1987.
