The National Young Fine Arts Festival 2020 is for artists from across the country aged between 18 and 35 years. The festival is scheduled to kick off in June.

Vietnam Fine Arts Exhibition 2020 aims to summarize the creative activities of fine arts from 2016 to 2020. For the first time ever, overseas Vietnamese artists can also participate in the event. The exhibition is scheduled to be held in November.

The third ASEAN Graphic Arts Competition and Exhibition is scheduled to take place in Hanoi in August as one among a series of important cultural and art events planned for 2020, the Vietnam’s ASEAN chairmanship year.

The competition is open to all citizens in the 10 ASEAN states of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.

The works should reflect the landscapes and the human life in the ASEAN countries as well as highlight urgent and contemporary issues relevant to the bloc’s members.
