My World#12 Tam-awan Village, Baguio City
A well-known Filipino international artist, Ben Cabrera or BenCab as he is popularly known, established Tam-awan Village as an artists' haven.
The visibly pregnant statue on the right is the fertility god and it is considered helpful for couples who desire of having a baby to worship and rub its belly to help them conceive.
Some of the paintings shown inside the well-preserved ancient, traditional Ifugao houses in Tam-awan village.
Ifugao gods for food stationed at the village's restaurant-cafe.Located in the hilly slopes of Pinsao, Baguio City, the place is not only a haven for artists but also serves as the repository of well-preserved traditional Ifugao Houses.

This is very interesting. I love how the gods in the first photo have been altered by the elements. They are so natural and beautiful.
The mossy stone statues look so cool and organic.
it is so nice to know that a haven for artists is established there! will surely help creative juices to flow easily!
Very beautiful works. I had been to Baguio many many moons ago. Love the cold weather and I remembered I bought a pair of well crafted horses for my late mom. She love the horses so much and regretted not buying when she visited baguio.
Hey, I passed by there yesterday on our way back from La Trinidad where we bought really yummy strawberries. Didn't get a chance to go in though as we were in a hurry to get down, so thanks for sharing. :-)
I love this place and also the coffee shop just across the street. A real artists' haven.
Such a beautiful fertility god, I live it!
How wonderful to have a haven for artists like this. If the paintings in your picture are an indication, it is a very inspirational place.bard
the fertility god is awesome. I'd love that in my garden, beautiful.
Those fertility gods are splendid! That looks like a very interesting town that I would enjoy spending a few hours in.
