Hosted by Da Nang Fine Arts Association, the exhibition is taking place at the Fine Arts Museum, 78 Le Duan Street.

The displayed works are created by various materials and techniques, including oil and lacquer painting, watercolours, acrylic, silk, and wood carving, by the Association’s members and some foreign artists living and working in Da Nang.

The event will run until 5 March, and admission is free for visitors all day but they are required to strictly follow the Health Ministry-mandated 5K (in Vietnamese) motto: namely ‘Khau trang’ (Face mask) – ‘Khu khuan’ (Disinfection) – ‘Khoang cach’ ‘Distance’ - ‘Khong tu tap’ (No gatherings) – ‘Khai bao y te’ (Health Declaration) in a bid to prevent the spread of the virus.
