🌿 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 ...

✊🏽 Araw ng mga Manggagawa | PagpupugayNgayong Araw ng mga Manggagawa, nagbibigay-pugay ang Pundasyon para sa Sining ng Albay (AAF) sa lahat ng uring manggagawa—ang tunay na haligi ng ating lipunan.Tampok ang likha ni Oscar Navarro (1957), “Mga Babaeng Nagtatahip ng Palay sa Kabukiran”—isang paalala ng tahimik ngunit mahalagang gampanin ng mga magsasaka at kababaihan sa produksyon ng pagkain ng sambayanan. Sila ang mga kamay na humuhubog sa ating araw-araw na buhay.Sa sining, naitatala ang kanilang kwento. Sa pagkilala, pinapanday ang kanilang dangal.Mabuhay ang manggagawang Pilipino. ✊🏽🌾#ArawNgMgaManggagawa #AlbayArtsFoundation #SiningAtLipunan ... See MoreSee Less
