Olang Art Park

Siquijor


This retreat for Filipino artists is set over 3 hectares. There's usually a resident artist or two hanging about, plus a performing-arts stage, a modest collection of modern art, a gallery of antiques and memorabilia and a wall of nude photos by the late American lensman Marlon Despues.
