“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.”
