The Anakbanwa Arts Residency Project is a new arts and cultural initiative of the Fourth District of Pangasinan. This program invites artists across all disciplines to conduct research and immerse themselves with creative communities, experience cultural heritage, learn from diverse artistic practices, and experience the ecological landscape in the fourth district as well at the interior (alog) and coastal (baybay) municipalities within the Province of Pangasinan.

This artists-in-residency program is designed for participants to explore the relationship between the arts, creativity, and neighborhoods as they respond to current social and environmental issues through sustainable arts practices. The project is a platform for artists to create context and site-specific work, while collaborating with a diverse cohort of local artisans, craft makers, and emerging arts communities in the historic region. The residency puts as much emphasis on the process of creation as it does on the outcome and is intended to engage with the public via dialogical artistic expressions.
