Sweet fruit from a serious investment in art

Through a 6-year journey, AIF brings an increasing collection of art works in quantity, diversity in genres and styles of expression. Visitors to Flamingo Dai Lai Resort are impressed with the contemporary art works stretching throughout the resort, along the romantic streets and among the windy pine forests.

Experts appreciate that the birth of FCAM is of particular importance to the development of Vietnamese contemporary art and contributes to promoting the domestic art market.
Reporter Trinh Nguyen gave a lot of praise to the professional organization of AIF: “Before the AIF was born, we had too many sculpture camps and when those camps were closed, it was a little happy and sad. Many because there is no place to display the works. The artists also feel sad because post-composition has no place to shelter for their spiritual child. At the AIF creation camp, it was different, everyone felt very happy that their work was displayed in the right place. I personally feel very happy for both the artist and the public.

Ms. Trinh also appreciated the gallery using small steel wire to create a certain distance between the public and the work. This is something that many museums and galleries in Vietnam have not applied at present. This small detail gives the work its own space, as if stepping on another stage in the display space.
