International watercolor painting exhibition "Connecting Journey" at Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam attracts international visitors

The international watercolor exhibition “Journey of Connection” co-organized by the Center for Cultural and Scientific Activities of the Temple of Literature in collaboration with the International Watercolor Society in Vietnam (IWS Vietnam) and the International Watercolor Society in Vietnam (IWS Laos) brings together 184 outstanding works by artists from more than 20 countries and territories. The exhibition is not only an opportunity to honor international cultural and artistic values but also opens up a dialogue between art and heritage, between tradition and modernity, contributing to connecting the global watercolor artist community.

The paintings are on display at the International Watercolor Exhibition “Journey of Connection”.

During the first days of opening, the exhibition received many positive responses from international visitors.

Colin (an American tourist) shared: “I have been to many art museums and seen many watercolor paintings, but this is the first time I have seen one in Vietnam. I really like this exhibition. The works have a wonderful blend of nature, animals and people”. Colin also expressed a special impression with the work “The Past” by artist Vo Minh Lam Tung: “I see the painting has a contrast between light and dark. The night falls and the lights in the building bring a welcoming feeling. It is like a beacon for shelter, very warm and comfortable”.

Ms. Rene (a Canadian tourist) was also impressed with the exhibition: “The works displayed here are really beautiful and impressive. Not only that, I also have the opportunity to learn more about the art and culture of many countries around the world .”

Besides admiring the works, visitors also have the opportunity to experience many other interesting interactive activities such as watching demo drawing performances, participating in long paintings, and workshops such as "Traditional conical hat painting", "Dó painting", "Picture collage and unique printing".

The international watercolor painting exhibition "Connecting Journey" will continue to be open to welcome visitors until November 10, 2025.
