“After a year of hard work, artists from the southeast bring their best works to the exhibition. It is also an opportunity for the artists to meet and share their experiences in art creation,” Ngô Phước Chánh, deputy chairman of the Bình Dương Literature and Arts Association, said.
Chánh added that the 2024 exhibition received 303 art works by 202 artists.
The organisers gave first prize to Nguyễn Hoài Huyền Vũ for a sculpture made of iron and wood named Kén (Cocoon), and second prize to Phạm Thị Hồng Xuyến for an oil painting called Chăm Chỉ (Hardworking). Both artists are from Bình Dương.
