Art Chuwariwa at the Hottest Museum in Town


The Baguio Writers Group (BWG) and the Bencab Art Foundation will hold an art writing workshop May 23-24, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the Museum’s Larawan Hall, Km. 6, Asin Road, Tuba, Benguet.

Travel time to the museum is 15 minutes by car from Baguio City’s central business district and about half an hour by jeep.
The workshop aims to equip local writers, art enthusiasts and other interested individuals with analytical tools with which they can think and write about art and literature.

Resource persons are: Yason Banal, Philippine Star columnist and teacher at the UP Diliman Film Institute; Lito Zulueta, sub-editor for arts and books of Philippine Daily Inquirer’s Lifestyle section; and Francis Macansantos, BWG vice president, literary critic and multi-awarded poet.

The workshop will include lectures and writing exercises designed by the resource persons. Twenty participants will be accepted. Two fellowships will be given to young, deserving writers of Cordilleran roots who can submit a two-page art review or a profile of an artist addressed to BWG president Padma Perez on or before May 15 at the Café by the Ruins, Chuntug st., Baguio City.
