Paete: Kape Kesada Art Gallery
Kape Kesada, an art gallery, is an artwork in itself with the walls painted by some of artists holding exhibits
Last Holy Week, Kape Kesada showcased works with Kuaresma theme to coincide with the season.

halo-halo at P35 only goes well with minani(Canon EOS 300D)Kape Kesada has a mission, similar to Malabon's Bahay Parokyano to provide an exhibit area for young artists to showcase and sell their art works.
For now, Tutubi will just take a coffee break.
How to get to Kape Kesada:
the art gallery/coffee shop is just a few meters away from Rural Bank of Paete at Plaza Edesan (the commercial center of the town). It's about 400 meters from the town plaza and Parish of St. James (Paete Church). For those with vehicles, you may park your cars at Plaza Edesan then a short walk to the cafe/art gallery.
Note: Taking pictures is not allowed inside the gallery. Tutubi was able to take photos with permission from the owner but can't post them here without permission of the artists.

very quaint. lagi naffeature yang mga Paete residents sa TV because a lot of good artists are from there. sarap siguro na tambayan yan Kape Kesada Art Gallery. ang gaganda pa ng paintings! instead of the usual jazz or bossa nova music playing in the background, i can just imagine Filipino music playing. :)
