A Grateful Experience at Hanoi Art Connecting 7

 

I am deeply honored to have been referred by E-Arts Nepal Team to participate in the Hanoi Art Connecting 7 – International Art Workshop, held in Hanoi, Vietnam, from October 28 to November 3, 2024. Alongside my talented colleagues Anil Shahi, Kishore Maharjan, and Sanjeep Maharjan, I had the privilege of joining this exceptional event.

Hosted by the University of Arts and Design in collaboration with Asia Art Link, the workshop brought together over 100 talented artists from diverse countries, offering a unique platform for creative exchange. This event was a true celebration of artistic expression, where participants shared their practices, engaged in inspiring discussions, and explored new techniques, all while building meaningful global connections.

The international nature of the workshop provided a wonderful opportunity to meet and interact with artists of varying backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. It was an incredible gathering that fostered an environment of collaboration and learning, encouraging us to connect through our shared passion for art.

Throughout the workshop, I had the privilege of interacting with artists from around the world, and it was truly inspiring to witness their diverse works and creative processes. The hands-on sessions were enriching, pushing each participant to explore their creative boundaries. The collective energy and exchange of ideas during these sessions sparked new insights and inspiration for everyone involved.

This was my first visit to Hanoi, and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Not only did the workshop provide an opportunity to immerse myself in the vibrant artistic community of Vietnam, but it also allowed for a deep cultural immersion. Hanoi’s dynamic art scene, rich history, and beautiful surroundings made the entire experience even more memorable.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the organizers, the University of Arts and Design, the Asia Art Link team, and the dedicated volunteers who ensured everything ran smoothly. Their meticulous planning and warm hospitality made this event truly unforgettable. Every aspect, from the well-organized schedule to the friendly support, exceeded expectations.

This experience has left a lasting impression on me, and I will forever cherish the memories and friendships forged during this remarkable event. It was an unforgettable chapter in my artistic journey, and I am incredibly grateful to have been part of it.
