THE HEALING BRUSH EXHIBITION
Last month’s The Healing Brush exhibition brought together artists from Tinh Truc Gia (The Peaceful Bamboo Family)—a Hue-based organization that supports the disabled by collaborating and empowering them to create as artists. Tinh Truc Gia offers art as a therapy for those with mental impairment to help them integrate into the community through creative activities. These programs, which combine sales-oriented exhibitions and open-painting workshops, have helped create a network of investors and collectors, especially lovers of Brut Art, which encompasses some of the most raw and exclusive artworks. These outstanding paintings are unconventional, individualistic, instinctive and hyperbolic in their nature. Brut Art favors spontaneity over an intellectual approach and promotes no contact with the mainstream art world—the outsiders—direct and raw, and always emphasizing the emotion rather than the intellect.
The Healing Brush brought these ‘outsiders’ onto the main stage, with the goal of reshaping our views on unconventional artists. Visit their e-exhibition now to view these native artworks: https://issuu.com/thehealingbrush/docs/catalogue_eng.
HO TRAM PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP
The Asian Tour unveiled a new flagship event, the Ho Tram Players Championship which will take place April 13-16, 2017 at The Bluffs Ho Tram Strip. “The Players’ Championship will be the highlight of the Asian Tour year and we could not think of a more deserving venue and event than Ho Tram,” said Kyi Hla Han, Commissioner of the Asian Tour. “The inaugural [Ho Tram Open] year not only put Ho Tram on the map, but has reinforced Vietnam’s position as a growing force in the world of golf and sports.”
The championship will host some of the best golfers in the world including defending champion, Sergio Garcia, who will return to defend his title next April, the week after the year’s first major, The Masters. The USD1.2 million showpiece will become the richest prize purse for a full-field Asian Tour event and also receive an increase in world ranking points given its increased ‘flagship’ status.
The Ho Tram Players Championship will be broadcast around the world in over 180 countries, reaching over 740 million households, making it one of the most watched sporting events in Vietnam’s history.
