Tam Awan Village Baguio City Art Center in Baguio
A venue for art and cultural activities that would enhance appreciation of culture and beauty.
Tam-awan Village in Pinsao Proper, Baguio City uniquely blends indigenous aesthetics and exquisite Cordilleran craftsmanship with an artist’s concept for a village adapting to Baguio setting. Tam-awan continues to be a venue presenting masterpieces from both seasoned and budding artists. More than just being a home for many artists and their masterpieces, the village is also labeled by some as a living museum as it has managed to salvage authentic huts from Sagada and Kalinga.
Part museum of indigenous culture, part artist collective, the Tam-awan Village was established by the Chanum Foundation and National Artist BenCab in 1998. Since that time, it has become a venue for exhibits and workshops for artists like Jordan Mang-osan, Art Lozano, and Alfred Dato.
Tam-awan Village also known as the Garden in the Sky is one of the tourist spots in Baguio City that showcase the local culture and arts in the Cordillera region. The word Tam-awan came from the local dialect which means “vantage point” or a place for seeing a scenery at a higher spot. When visitors explore the whole village on a sunny day they will find some viewpoints that have an outstanding view of the mountainside as well as the sea.
