Sàn Art is an independent, non-profit art space that, in addition to exhibiting contemporary art, also serves as a platform for art research and education , with activities such as exhibitions, artist residency programs, and community projects, contributing to shaping a space for deep artistic dialogue, especially in exploring social and cultural issues through art.
Chillala - House of Art with a total area of 1,000 m², capacity of 350 guests, impresses art lovers with its unique art exhibition programs. Many exhibitions of artists have been successfully held here, including: Color and Emptiness (Tran Trung Linh), Flowers and Leaves 2 (Don Vinh), A Piece of Paradise (Noah Bui)...
The Peony & Iris Art Gallery by designer Phung Thi Thu Thuy is always filled with emotions because of the connection between art and culture. The "display" of Ao Dai art works and handmade paintings: silk, lacquer, oil... by many famous names not only brings heritage value but also shows the owner's dedication.

In addition, the activities of Quang San Art Museum aim for sustainability, when separating the collection, management and commercial activities, finance and other community development. Other galleries focus on specialization or "niches": Galerie Quynh, Nguyen Art Foundation, Huyen Art House... always know how to create "a path right under their feet". In the segment that is slightly inclined towards commerce with contemporary works, Galerie Quynh can be mentioned; in the segment that interacts with education, Nguyen Art Foundation is a notable address.
The proliferation of private art spaces encourages contemporary art and experimental forms, such as installation art and digital art, helping artists break free from traditional stereotypes and explore new ways of expression. This is especially important in the context of international integration, when Vietnamese art needs to compete with other art forms.
CREATING A MULTI-DIRECTIONAL DIALOGUE BETWEEN ART AND COMMUNITY
According to art researcher Ly Doi, in the links or pillars of an art movement, private art spaces always play a very important role, becoming a bridge between creators and collectors, exhibitions, museums, research and guarantees.
"Any art space model should be encouraged, so that it can come into contact with the market, compete on its own, and if it is reasonable, it will develop strongly," said Mr. Ly Doi.
Collector Ngo Kim Khoi highly appreciates private art spaces because they are not only places to display works but also act as cultural centers, promote art education, support young people and create multi-dimensional dialogues between art and the community.
"Flexibility in operation and creativity in combining art with many community activities are the factors that make them stand out. The development of art spaces in Ho Chi Minh City brings many positive signals to professionals: artists, curators, critics and art collectors. With the professionalization of private spaces, the works introduced are often accompanied by careful selection and clear stories, helping to increase the cultural and economic value of the collections," Mr. Ngo Kim Khoi commented.
Private spaces regularly organize exchange events and workshops, helping artists find like-minded communities, thereby inspiring creativity and reducing the feeling of isolation in the profession. International cooperation between galleries also opens up opportunities for collectors to bring Vietnamese works to the global market, contributing to building a more professional art ecosystem, with the participation of curators, critics and art organizations. This creates a healthy competitive environment, encourages quality and creativity, helps bring art closer to the public, increases aesthetic awareness, thereby creating momentum for the sustainable development of the art market.
"This development is a good sign to promote career development and create a vibrant, diverse and attractive market for collectors, while contributing to enhancing the position of Vietnamese fine arts in the international arena. However, for private art spaces to operate effectively, we need the "joint efforts" of potential partners so that we have more conditions to expand and develop", said the owner of Peony & Iris Art Gallery, Phung Thi Thu Thuy.
