Launched in 2021, Don Papa Rum shifts from hosting a yearly art competition to sponsoring art residency programs around the Philippines – ArtFairPH/ Residencies. By supporting residency programs, Don Papa Rum provides an opportunity to deepen the conversation with artists across all disciplines by enabling them to explore their art practice in environments other than their studios and homes.
