Tam Thanh Community Art Village (also known as Tam Thanh Mural Village) located in Tam Thanh coastal commune (Tam Ky city, Quang Nam) was inaugurated and put into operation in 2017, with 2 main art products: the mural village and the art road on baskets. Every year, the locality organizes a program to foster artistic products (Photo: Ngo Linh). The village was awarded the Asian Landscape Award in 2017 by the Asian Landscape Awards Council. In 2023, the village was officially recognized as a tourist destination. Every year, the local government has a program to develop artistic products, inviting artists to paint more murals on the walls of houses and basket boats.
