United States Vietnam Arts Program Information

To provide opportunities for artists from Vietnam as well as Vietnamese artists who currently live outside of Vietnam, and the United States to work collaboratively on artistic projects; to offer encouragement and support for the collaborative process particularly across cultural boundaries; and to positively bring together new and existing audiences to discover or rediscover the cultural and artistic traditions of both countries. Additionally, to provide "artistic tools" to wounded service members from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Bringing visibility to the power of art and how it might bring cathartic inner solace for those Americans who have sacrificed in service to their country.
