The Lawrence S. Ting Foundation is presenting the fourth Children's Art Exhibition 2026, titled "Empower Light," opening on April 24 in Ho Chi Minh City and later in Hanoi. The exhibition features nearly 50 artworks and handcrafted pieces from students at eight special education schools and centers across Vietnam, curated by visual artist Ngo Dinh Bao Chau. It also includes picture books from a competition for children with disabilities and interactive activities.
This event matters as it is a key part of the foundation's "Our Better Angels" initiative, launched in 2022 to raise community awareness about children with disabilities in Vietnam. The exhibition serves as a platform to celebrate the children's talents, document their resilience, and bridge public understanding of their inner worlds through a multisensory artistic journey, moving beyond traditional paintings to include meticulously crafted objects.
