The Workshops is an accessible way of sharing artistic and cultural strength among different countries in the Mekong region. Graphic Arts Workshop in Thailand and Lacquer Painting Workshop in Vietnam are designed. For each workshop, a total of approximately 20 persons from all participating art institutes will be invited. Both art instructors and students are welcome in the workshops. Other creative individuals may also be invited to attend. The exact number of persons joining the workshop on behalf of each institute will be confirmed later. In order to extend the benefits of the workshop to the public and to the wider art community, the host institute(s) can allow their own students to attend. They may also invite creative individuals and groups from the local community.
