From the organizer:

Blue Dragon is a charity that supports young people in crisis- it is committed to keeping them safe and providing education and extracurricular opportunities to build confidence and broaden horizons.

The Blue Dragon Art club was founded by artist and teacher Hannah Budd in 2019 and takes place every weekend at the Blue Dragon headquarters in Hanoi. The class is open to any children who have a passion for art and it has grown over time, while still maintaining two members who have been coming since day one!

As many of the members are deaf the classes are delivered through a mixture of sign language, Vietnamese and body language- and yet the children pick up new skills very quickly and confidently.

This is the first exhibition showcasing some of the projects that the children have completed. It contains painting, prints, mixed media collage, drawing, digital works and sculpture.

‘When I am in the art class I feel comfortable, happy and confident. I am encouraged to be creative and express myself’ – Huong.

Join us for an opening party with live music and DJs from 6.00 until late to take a first look at the pieces and celebrate these inspirational children’s achievements!

What’s more, every original piece will be auctioned to raise money for Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation. If you see a piece you like, simply place a bid in the silent auction and the winner will be announced at a closing event on Saturday 8th March.

However, if you are not lucky enough to place the winning bid we will have prints and postcards of many of the works available to buy throughout the exhibition.
