Featuring 130 works of painting, sculpture, ceramics and other art forms, the exhibition provides a space for direct interaction and dialogue among artists from different regions, ranging from established names to emerging talents developing their own artistic styles.

The exhibition also serves as a meeting point between artists and the public, between Vietnamese art and the wider Southeast Asian region, and between artistic creativity and social responsibility.

Established on social media platforms in 2015, the Viet Nam Art Space (VAS) initially aimed to introduce artworks, share artistic perspectives, facilitate discussions on creative practices and foster engagement with the public.

Over the past decade, this community of art enthusiasts has grown into an artistic exchange network with more than 82,000 members across online platforms.

The VAS has gradually expanded its activities to include art camps, exhibitions and in-person exchange programmes.

This year's exhibition marks another step forward for VAS, bringing connections established in the digital environment into a physical exhibition space.

Visitors will have the opportunity to experience artworks more fully through their diverse materials, dimensions, lighting and spatial arrangements.

The exhibition also offers artists further opportunities to showcase their works, exchange creative experiences and engage directly with art enthusiasts.
