Our Mission

Nha San Studio’s mission is to build a stable structure for contemporary art to grow in Viet Nam. Founded in 1998, Nha San was the first artist-led, non-profit alternative arts organization in the country. In a restrictive cultural and political environment, Nha San’s ongoing aim is to provide marginalized artists with the material necessities, and the courage to create.

Our studio acts as a crucial space for experimentation, transmission and exposure. We work beyond the limits of strict academic teaching and the creative constraints of commercial galleries. Nha San is here to cultivate, to support and to challenge artists passionate about exploring the here and now.
