ĐÀ NẴNG — An exhibition and exchange of arts have been held at Đà Nẵng's Fine Arts Museum, displaying a collection of 55 paintings from foreign artists living in the central city and local painters.

The event is an opportunity for expats and locals to get together at a workshop for art love and inspiration.

Artists have worked together to create art pieces varying from installation, recycled plastic waste, canvas, digital printing, and murals, featuring the beauty of the coastal city, land and people, ocean and plastic waste pollution.

The event is part of art exchange between the foreign community and local artists to promote the city’s landscape and tourism, said vice director of the city’s Culture and Sports department, Hà Vỹ.
