About
Vietnam Cultural Exchange
Established in 2018 in Da Nang, Vietnam, we focus on promoting and exchanging culture, art, and education for young artists born or residing in Central Vietnam. The “B&P – Art for Kids” gallery is an integral part of Vietnam Cultural Exchange. Our mission is to introduce Vietnamese art to other countries and showcase artworks where art enthusiasts can have the opportunity to see pieces created in different locations.
Living with art is challenging for Vietnamese artists, as it is for Western artists. Especially for those in their early stages, we have learned from European artists in previous centuries. For instance, “Piet Mondriaan” had to copy museum artworks and paint many flowers to earn income. Similarly, art students in art schools often start by reproducing famous paintings or unnamed works to generate income. In Vietnam, many artists also seek similar sources of income to make a living because introducing unknown artists in galleries is risky.
