Sàn Art is an internationally renown, independent, artist-initiated, non-profit gallery space and reading room centrally located in Ho Chi Minh City. They are the most active contemporary art organization in the country dedicated to the exchange and cultivation of visual practice, aiming to promote, facilitate and showcase contemporary art through
production, exhibition, discourse and education.
Sàn Art (‘san’ meaning ‘platform’) was established in October 2007 in response to limited resources and negligible opportunities for contemporary art and culture in Vietnam. In a country that offers little in the way of infrastructure and few alternatives to commercial production, artists must be strategically creative in order to be heard. Sàn Art is thus uniquely placed to fill the gap in access and opportunity by engaging with contemporary discourse through the visual arts, literature, performance and vocational activities such as exhibition, lecture, workshop, artist presentations and residency programs, in conjunction with local and international partners.
