      Works to be exhibited are expected to come mostly from the Tagbanua and Palawan' tribe from the south and from the Cuyunons (from the ethnolinguistic group).The Tagbanua group of artists dubbed as the Aborlan Art Programme, introduced to rubber cut prints and terracotta sculpture comprised the exhibitors.There are nine known  IP's in Palawan, but only few were mapped when it comes to surveying their art.The first exhibit was held in Kamarikutan Kape at Galeri, preceeded in the second time in Asturias Hotel, now for the third time, the venue is set in the lobby of Legislative Building.

Many of the products that emerged in the souvenir shops were made by the Palawan group; consisting of wood carvings, bamboo square-based baskets (tingkup) and replicas of hunting gears and masks.We hope that  in years to come, many of these undiscovered artists and artisans will emerge and show their art through the support of the foundation.
