A happy family, a peaceful life, and a world of dreams are what the female artists from the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Association hope to convey at ‘Uoc mo xanh’ (Green Dreams), an art exhibition held to celebrate the upcoming International Women’s Day.

Green Dreams kicked off on Wednesday at the Ho Chi Minh City Fine Arts Association in District 3 with the participation of artists and art lovers.

The exhibition is showcasing 117 pieces of lacquer, oil paint, acrylic, watercolor, graphic, ceramic, and wood arts from 87 female artists, with each boasting the unique interpretation of the artists’ hopes and ‘green dreams.’
