Inspired by the success of Ihwa Mural Village and many more in Korea, this joint venture by Vietnam and Korea aims to introduce art into the lives of people. And by doing so, they hope to raise awareness, the sense of cultural identity and attract tourism to better the small community.

Tam Ky City and Tam Thanh Commune also launched the fishing village of Tam Thanh as a community-based art space for eco-tourism development. It’s also the first project in Vietnam that weaves art space into community lifestyle.

The fishing village with a population of 6,000 has a tranquil environment. Tourists can easily connect from there with Tam Ky and Hoi An city. It hosts around 500 visitors each day, and 2,000 tourists on weekends.
