🌿 LIKHA-LIKAS ARTIST RESIDENCY 2026 UPDATE 🎨Last May 6, 2026, the Likha-Likas: Visual Arts and Climate Action Residency formally opened with the contract signing, orientation, and onboarding of the participating resident artists at Mirisbiris Garden and Nature Center, Albay.This year’s residency gathers seven (7) artists and creative practitioners from diverse fields, including visual arts, filmmaking, music, and interior design. The variety of disciplines creates a dynamic environment for collaboration, dialogue, and interdisciplinary exchange throughout the residency.More than an art program, Likha-Likas is becoming a shared space where creativity, environment, culture, and community intersect—allowing artists to learn from one another while responding to the unique landscapes and realities of Albay.Over the coming days, the residents will participate in immersions, workshops, talks, collaborations, and public engagements leading toward the final exhibition and community presentations.✨ Welcome once again to our resident artists!Dagos po kamo sa Albay!#LikhaLikas2026 #AAF #ArtResidency #SiningAtKalikasan #ClimateAction #AlbayArts ...
