Hanoi (VNA) – The Global Eye Programme, a non🃏-profit organisation dedicated to nurturing artistic talent, will be coming to ꧒Vietnam.
The programme’s activities will include an exhibition entitled “Vietnam Eye” on contemporary Vietnamese artworks. The display will be held in Hanoi from this November to February 2017 before arriving in Ho Chi Minh City, organisers said at a press conference in Hanoi on June 1.
Seventy-five outstanding contemporary artists from Vietnam will be selected and introduced in a book named “AIA Vietnam Eye” to be published in November.
The book will feature information about each artist along with articles on Vietnam’s contemporary art.
Prominent artworks will be sent to an exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in London, the UK, in September next year, the organisers noted.
They added that this will be a great opportunity for Vietnamese artists to show off their talent and connect with their peers from around the world, as the Saatchi Gallery is the most prestigious arts exhibition venue in London.
Global Eye, established by collectors David and Serenella Ciclitira, held its first programme in the Republic of Korea in 2009. It has so far organised 28 exhibitions and published eight books on contemporary art in many Asian countries.-VNA

Despite strong home support and high expectations, Vietnam were unable to overcome the defending champions, who secured their third consecutive win over Vietnam in a regional final, following previous victories in 2014 and 2023.
The event, part of Vietnam’s cultural diplomacy strategy through 2030, was jointly organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela and USM’s Faculty of International Relations. It attracted thousands of students from universities across Venezuela.
For the first time, Vietnamese audiences will have the opportunity to experience the ballet masterpiece "Don Quixote" in its original version by renowned choreographer Marius Petipa.
The contest carried deep meaning as it was the first time the life of Vietnamese women abroad had been highlighted as the central theme, said poet and writer Nguyen Quang Thieu, Chairman of the Vietnam Writers’ Association.
