The Colors of StoBoSa, officially designated as the StoBoSa Hillside Homes Artwork, is a community artwork designed by the Tam-awan Village group, and is a locally recognized tourist attraction in the town of La Trinidad, Benguet. The paintwork of multiple houses composes the single artwork.
The artwork is known as the StoBoSa Hillside Homes Artwork, [1] which is also the official designation for the artwork by the municipal government, [2] and is also called simply as the Colors of StoBoSa. [3] "Stobosa" is a portmanteau of the names of the sitios the artwork is situated namely Stonehill, Botiwtiw, and Sadjap. The three localities are all within Barangay Balili. [3]
The artwork was commissioned as part of the Rev-Bloom Urban Redevelopment Tourism Campaign a project conceptualized by the Department of Tourism- Cordillera Administrative Region (DOT-CAR) under Regional Director Venus Tan and the La Trinidad local government under Edna Tabana. [4]
The design of the artwork was conceptualized by Tam-awan Artist Village group by the Chanum Foundation [5] led by solar artist Jordan Mang-osan [4] along with Niño Jose B. Seriosa as the Graphic Artist[ citation needed], Ged Alangui, Clinton Aniversario, and Jenny Lorenzo. [3] Gloria Agasen was the project coordinator. [6]
Based on favela paintings of Brazil, the making of the Colors of Stobosa involved the painting of around 150 [6]-200 houses or an area of 18,000 square meters (190,000 sq ft). [7] It is a combination of four designs made by the Tam-Awan Village artists. The designs, perceived as easy to make and aesthetically pleasing, were selected from a multitude of designs. The sunflower was chosen as a main motif of the artwork since the area used to be a full of the flowering plant. [6] Rainbows also form part of the design. [8]
Painting of the artwork began in February 2016 and was inaugurated on June 23, 2016 though it was only projected to be completed by August 2016. [3] At the time of its unveiling the artwork was already 80 percent complete. [5]
520 people, [7] being residents of the three sitios as well as volunteers, painted the houses. [6] They underwent training which started in January 2016. [8] The outlines were applied after the color within them were painted. [6] The 2,800 gallons[ specify] of paint [9] costing ₱2 million used were provided by local paint firm, Davies Paints, [10] while other painting materials were provided by the local government. [7]
The painting has a projected life expectancy of five years and a retouching of the work is planned in mid-2018. [7][ needs update]
The artwork is officially recognized as a tourist attraction of La Trinidad, Benguet by the municipal government. [2] The recognition was given to the artwork through Sangguiniang Bayan ( transl. Municipal Council) Resolution No. 130 which was adopted on July 12, 2016. The resolution was sponsored by councilors Roderick Awingan, Estrella Adeban, and Henry Kipas. [11]
The Department of Tourism plans a similar project in the neighboring city of Baguio. The endeavour is called Project Puraw which involves the painting of houses in Quirino Hill. [12][ needs update]
