This June, Chiang Mai's art scene features a diverse lineup of exhibitions across galleries, museums, and independent spaces. Highlights include the international printmaking exchange 'Monsoon: SGCI x Chiang Mai' at Hello, Print Friend Studios, dual exhibitions at La Luna Gallery (including a group show and a solo by Natthawoot Rungpunk), a Pride Month photography exhibition by David Gentil at Alliance Française Chiang Mai, and 'Bloom 2' at Chiang Mai Art Museum pairing painters Srijai Kuntawang and Auxchanok Chirakul. The month closes with an experimental art-and-performance show at Haan Studio.
This roundup matters because it showcases the vitality and diversity of Chiang Mai's regional art scene, emphasizing cross-cultural collaboration, community engagement, and thematic relevance (e.g., Pride Month). It highlights how smaller cities in Thailand are fostering dynamic contemporary art programming that connects local practitioners with international artists, offering audiences accessible, thought-provoking experiences outside of Bangkok's dominant art hubs.
