Art in the North

The arts scene has a new corner in Baguio called Gallery Ninety, a space for artists who highlight the rich cultural heritage of this picturesque city

If you’re prepared to do a six-hour drive from Manila, Baguio City would reward you with its lush green park spaces, hillsides and cool temperature. Thronged by people from different parts of the Philippines, the City of Pines offers stories and sights that some of its homegrown talents have been keeping alive through different mediums of art.

Somewhere in the middle of its tall pine trees, ensconced within the campus of Berkeley School, is Gallery Ninety, a space that husband and wife Berg and Marbee Go opened when they decided to stay in Baguio for good. Their dream was simple—to help enrich the arts and culture scene in Baguio by providing a space for artists who have a connection to Baguio and the Cordilleras.
