Twelve nationalities. 120 artworks. Six exhibition rooms. 176 guests on Opening Night. Yet Vietnam Creative Awards 2026 was never defined by numbers alone. It was measured in encounters: strangers becoming friends, artists finding new audiences, conversations opening doors, and creative voices coming together to prove that imagination knows no borders at all.

Following a landmark Shortlist Exhibition at the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Museum, the Vietnam Creative Awards 2026 enters its next chapter. From 9–11 October, selected Finalists will gather at Hôtel des Arts Saigon for an intimate celebration of creativity, conversation and connection, before the Awards Gala on 16 October.

Beyond beauty, creativity can carry compassion. On 10 October 2026, Beyond the Frame brings artists, collectors and friends together at The Albion by Kirk Westaway, Hôtel des Arts Saigon – MGallery Collection for an intimate Charity Dinner & Art Auction, where works created with imagination become gestures of generosity in support of Breast Cancer Network Vietnam.

For three unforgettable days, Hôtel des Arts Saigon became a home for creativity, where artworks found new admirers, strangers became friends, and conversations opened unexpected doors. Through the Vietnam Creative Awards Finalist Exhibition, Art Talk Series and charity auction, art revealed its most beautiful gift: bringing people together with purpose.
