The 7th Festival reflects contemporary Vietnamese young artists’ perspectives on modern life. Their works convey thoughtful engagement with contemporary social issues, offering art enthusiasts deeper insights into current artistic trends.
“Through this Festival, young artists gain opportunities for learning and exchange while establishing their creative careers. This platform discovers, nurtures, and develops new talents, enriching Vietnam’s artistic landscape,” said Ma The Anh, Director of the Department of Fine Arts, Photography and Exhibition.
