Young Hanoians host art exhibition
Nearly 100 young local and foreign artists are showcasing their works at the Chase Hanoi 2012 art exhibition from July 18-20.
Visitors to the event can enjoy the beauty of life through the artists’ different perspectives and their passion for arts. They can also learn about valuable life experiences and skills from those who have studied abroad.
Some popular films by female director Nguyen Hoang Diep, including Bo tu 10A8 (The Foursome of 10A8), Chit va Pi (Chit and Pi) and Bi, dung so (Bi, Don’t Be Afraid) are on screen at the exhibition.
As part of the event, some products are being sold to raise funds for the Operation Smile to conduct corrective facial surgeries for Vietnamese children with hare lip and cleft palate deformities.
