Nương Náu House, also known as “Nương Náu Haus”, is a place where artistic elements converge for enjoyment. The first floor features a café area with a lush green garden, offering a relaxing and familiar atmosphere. Stepping up to the second and third floors, visitors will discover a unique art exhibition space, where artworks by young artists participating in the ongoing “TÔ-GETHER” event are arranged in a refined and intimate manner.
Let's create, connect, and enjoy art together.
"TOGETHER" is a series of open-studio art activities where young artists showcase and practice their creations directly and authentically. This event brings together six promising young artists: Quyet Duong, Le Anh Dung, Dao Thao Phuong, Cao Thuc, Hoang Dung, and Kim Ngan. The paintings presented in "TOGETHER" are the result of hours of serious and meticulous work in the studio, where each artist not only engages in dialogue with models but also with themselves through each brushstroke and creative decision.
Nương Náu is located at 13B Nguyen Gia Thieu Street.
The message that "TOGETHER" conveys is clear: create together, learn together, and connect through art. It's an open space where viewers can directly experience and access art in a close, intimate way, without distance or unfamiliarity. Here, everyone can treat themselves to a moment of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of winter, immersing themselves in an atmosphere imbued with artistic spirit.
The unique aspect of the "TO-GETHER" event is the series of "Open Workshop" art activities held throughout December. This is an opportunity for the audience not only to admire the artworks but also to directly participate in the creative process alongside the artists.
- "Breathing-Gether" Workshop (December 19th): Experience the art form through the connection between breath, body, and materials. Ink and water are not just tools, but also a harmonious interplay in every movement of the brush.
- The "Translate-Gether" Workshop (December 22nd): A new perspective on painting, where painting is no longer about exactly copying reality, but rather a process of "translating" the world around us into each individual's unique visual language.
- The "Sculpt-Gether" workshop (December 26th): A space where the senses work together, where you can touch, sculpt, and imagine the faces in your memory taking shape from the clay.
- "Bong-gether" Workshop (December 29th): Experience the subtlety and gentleness of nature through flowers and branches, and join the artist in creating beautiful little gifts to share love.
A place where art finds refuge.
Nương Náu Art Hub is likened to a "little home" for art, a place where people can temporarily set aside the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse themselves in creative values. Located in an old French villa, on the small alley at 13B Nguyen Gia Thieu or "13B rue Bonifacy" during the French colonial era, this place is like an artistic "quiet spot" in the heart of Hanoi.
The message that 'TOGETHER' conveys is very clear: create together, learn together, and connect through art.
Everything at Nương Náu, from the sunlight filtering through the leaves casting shadows on the mossy walls to the gentle patter of rain on the red brick floor, is imbued with the spirit of art and time. For Trang, the founder of this space, her greatest desire is to transform it into an ideal "art home" for young artists and those passionate about creativity.
She shared: “I want Nương Náu to be a place where people can visit and enjoy art as a part of life, like returning to their own home – peaceful and familiar. I hope that when people step inside, they no longer have the mindset of a curious tourist, but rather a true art lover, able to calm their minds and enjoy each painting, each little corner in this space.”
Ms. Trang, the founder of the space.
"TO-GETHER" is open to the public from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily, from December 17th to December 31st, 2024, at 13B Nguyen Gia Thieu Street, Hoan Kiem District, Hanoi. The exhibition space showcases sketches created in 2-3 hours at the studio, reflecting a contemporary feel while retaining the rustic and authentic spirit of six talented young artists. In the warm atmosphere of Nuong Nau, viewers will have the opportunity to approach art in a more intimate way, gaining a deeper understanding of the creative journey of these young artists.
In the crisp coolness of the year-end days, visit "TO-GETHER" to enjoy and discover art corners that offer a haven. This is a place where people can find peace, a harmonious blend of art and life, and immerse themselves in a shared home of love for art and beauty.
