The British Council Arts Gala

Gala and Auction at Sofitel Metropole: Sun 10 Oct 2010
Tickets for Sale

A collection of some of the best Vietnamese visual arts will be auctioned at the Metropole Hotel on the Hanoi millennium night.

The auction will feature works donated by some of Vietnam’s most impressive local and international artists and from the Ford Foundation’s esteemed collection.

The funds raised from the auction and gala will go towards the British Council’s Contemporary Arts Fund, which gives individual artist grants, runs workshops for local and international artists, improves local exhibition and cultural spaces and gives Vietnamese artists access to training and residency abroad. This Arts Auction and Gala will be the first of its kind in Hanoi.

The works to be auctioned will be on public display for several days prior to the event at the Bui Gallery.

This event is presented by the British Council and Bui Gallery in collaboration with Art Vietnam Gallery, Ford Foundation, British Embassy, British Business Group of Vietnam and Sofitel Metropole Hotel Hanoi.
