PEOPLE TO PEOPLE
Bangkok Art & Culture Centre (BACC): Until July 18
There’s still time to catch the People to People exhibition on display in the Bangkok Art & Culture Centre’s Main Gallery 9th Floor. This group exhibit presents contemporary artworks from 58 artists, all of whom got a boost early in their careers as participants in the BACC’s 2nd floor People’s Gallery, which launched in 2012. The artist’s involved represent a diversity of social groups, including professional artists, students, and art enthusiasts, all of whom constitute individual voices sharing their reactions to social phenomenon, the economy, politics and personal beliefs (or self-esteem) through the aesthetic processes. Earnings from artwork sales at this show will be donated to support the BACC activities and operation.
