“Theexhibition’s most important goal is audience development,” said Bui QuangThang, Art Director of the VICAS Art Studio, under the VietnamNational Institute of Culture and Arts Studies (VICAS).
“Wedo understand that arts are still a luxurious commodity (in our society) yetduring the initial stage of nurturing an art market in Vietnam, artists need tohave great effort to stimulate the potential audience with good qualityartworks with reasonable prices.”
Allof the artists shared that standpoint of the director and agreed to cutartworks’ prices as low as possible (ranging from 220 USD- 700 USD).
“Artworksnow are more affordable. I believe that audiences can own a fine artwork thatcan refresh their spiritual life and living space,” said Thang.

“Throughthe exhibition, we can see the art trends, styles and themes that the artistsare concerned with,” he said.
