Hosted by the Son Tra District authorities, the event aims to introduce the works of artists participating in the fine arts creation camp 2023 in the locality to locals and visitors. 

During the five-day Son Tra District Fine Arts Creation Camp 2023 (June 26 - 30), participating artists moved to many different locations in the locality to compose, including the Tho Quang Fishing Wharf, the Thuan Phuoc and Dragon bridges, An Hai and Thoai Ngoc Hau temples, the Tho Quang Beach, the Linh Ung Pagoda, the Ban Co (Chess Board) Peak, the Tien Sa Lighthouse, and heritage banyan tree.

With a high sense of responsibility and love for arts, 24 artists, including 12 students from the Da Nang University of Architecture, diligently composed and completed 120 paintings.

Notably, one out of the 12 participants from other parts of the country who couldnot visit Da Nang to directly compose for objective reasons, made three paintings through photos sent by other painters and promptly sent them to the exhibition.

All of the works of fine arts made from many different materials like watercolour and iron pen reflect the typical beauty of the Son Tra Peninsula, thereby contributing to promoting the development of fine arts activities in the district.
