August highlights at VinSpace
VinSpace Art Studio in Ho Chi Minh City is offering its new programs in August, including Canvas & Wine night and Summer Camp, to enable people of all ages to learn and create their own artworks.
Canvas & Wine, themed Nocturne Painting and scheduled for August 13 from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., is where attendants have two hours to create artworks under soft glows, bright glares and atmospheric style of a night in Saigon.
The event will be held at VinSpace Art Studio at S24-1 Le Van Thiem Street in HCMC’s District 7. Guests will be charged US$38 per person, inclusive of two glasses of wine and all painting materials. There is a 15% discount for groups of four at a price of US$130 and 20% for teachers at US$31 per person.
Parents who are searching for space to keep their kids busy can consider the Summer Camp from now until August 17 at both VinSpace at S24-1 Le Van Thiem in District 7 and at 6 Le Van Mien in HCMC’s District 2. This is where children find a good place to show their creativity.
There are mixed media of pencil/charcoal, sketching, watercolor painting, soft pastel drawing and acrylic painting. Children will discover how they can draw, paint and build crafts throughout the camp and they can learn to stay calm, focused and engaged and how to solve problems, concentrate and make choices through art. The fee is US$30 per day or US$135 per week, inclusive of all materials.
Rachel O’Neil, a teacher at VinSpace, says both Canvas & Wine and Summer Camp have attracted positive responses from parents this year.
O’Neil says she is optimistic about the art scene in Vietnam. “It is growing slowly but steadily and with it more art spaces and galleries are opening.”
O’Neil noted the only difficulty VinSpace faces at art classes is to do with the language barriers for different nationalities. “Our classes are predominantly in English although we always make sure to have at least one Vietnamese teacher on hand to overcome any barriers.”
