Baguio Artists

Baguio Artists

Baguio city, located in northern Luzon in the Philippines, became a haven for many Filipino artists in the 1970s-1990s. Drawn by the cooler climate and lower cost of living, artists such as BenCab (now a national artist) and filmmaker Butch Perez relocated to the city. At the same time, natives such as mixed-media artist Santiago Bose and filmmaker Kidlat Tahimik were also establishing work in the city. Many Baguio artists used the context of cultural diversity characteristic of the Cordillera region to establish their work.

Notable Baguio artists include:

Santiago Bose (mixed media)
Ben Cabrera (painting)
Narda Capuyan (weaving)
Kawayan de Guia (painting)
Kigao (sculpture)
Willy Magtibay
Peter Pinder (fiber glass sculpture, painting, mixed media)
Kidlat Tahimik (film, performance art)
Art Tibaldo (mixed media-visual arts)
Franklin Cimatu (poetry)
