-my pagnapagna-
(February 3, 2018 a Saturday)
In the morning, at around 10 o'clock, we were already at Tam-awan Village in Baguio City. We were having our ingress for our art exhibit.

| Cultural dancers of Tam-awan Village |
This art exhibit is by the La Union Timpuyog Artes ti Ilocandia which is a newly organized group that had recently turned a year last month, January 2018 in which yours truly is a member.
There were galleries in the Village and one of them is the Ugnayan Gallery located near the Cafe but we were exhibiting at another gallery which is the Village Gallery. It is a well lit enclosed room gallery.

| The artists having their lunch |
At Tam-awan Village, they had these cultural shows happening featuring their ethnic cordillera dances in their own local costume. The village also showcases the cordillera native houses and products.
It's a culture and arts hub altogether.
