You will then head to the Orange Project, located right smack in the middle of the Art District in Bacolod. Bold murals and quirky installations abound here. The Orange Project itself is a spacious hall that houses pieces by some of the Philippines’ renowned contemporary artists, including Antipas Delotavo and Guenivere Decena, as well as young talents who utilize unique media in their works. 

Enjoy delicious coffee and light snacks when you visit Onse Coffee. Unique in the cafe culture of Bacolod, Onse Coffee is an artist-run space that combines an art hub, cafe, and gift shop.
