(HBO) - Overcoming nearly 300 artists who are professional and amateur ones from 46 provinces and cities across the country with 365 competition entries, Mr. Nguyen Van Cong from the Center for Culture and Cinema of Hoa Binh province has been awarded the first prize for the work "Stepping under the glorious Party’s flag” – the prize for the propaganda campaign to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the establishment of the Communist Party of Vietnam (February 3rd, 1930 - February 3rd, 2020), organized by the local Culture Department (the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism) coordinated with Vinh Phuc People's Committee in the middle of January.

The artist Nguyen Van Cong always dedicates his passion to composing fine art works.

The work "Stepping under the glorious Party’s flag” is inspired by the content of the whole Party, the entire people believing in the Party's leadership. The image of a brunch of sunflowers facing the sun is the power of the whole Party and people, the entire army stepping 90 years under the red flag with a hammer and a sickle...

We met Mr. Cong at his home on Thinh Lang Street (Hoa Binh City). The house is really scientifically arranged by a professional artist, and it is also full of colorful art. It has been all designed and built by him and his wife. One place is the outlines of the homeland, the dreaming people of Hoa Binh, the other place is for a fresh Dong Ho painting, the lake of hydroelectric plant with the immense power. Another one is for a painting of the young lady taking a bath in the springs...

All is a space full of artistic desires of the person loving beauty, dropping soul into nature, people. He is the director of a graphic design and advertising company with a lot of work to do. The company’s work, the design work, the creative writing and the art activities fill his time.

He says that painting, especially composing cheerleading paintings is not so simple. To have the work of high quality bringing high communication efficiency, it is necessary to meet the requirements of fine arts, requiring artists with real ability. It is important to always learn, practice, equip themselves with a wide range of knowledge, conveying into a work with a sexy, inspirational message, creating strong attraction, excitement, optimism and so on.

Currently, Mr. Cong is implementing the propaganda plan to celebrate the great holidays, the Seventeenth Provincial Party Congress, the 13^thNational Party Congress, launching to compose cheerleading paintings and organizing exhibitions and traveling exhibitions in localities in the province.

Bringing art to remote areas - promoting ethnic culture

Hoa Binh city - Vibrant community activities at cultural houses

Building a cultural conservation area for Muong ethnic group in Luy Ai hamlet

Phong Phu commune, Tan Lac district of Hoa Binh province, is widely regarded as the cultural heartland of the Muong ethnic group. Among its many traditional communities, Luy Ai hamlet (formerly Ai hamlet) stands out as a rare location where the customs and way of life of the Muong Bi people remain largely intact.

Truong Kha temple festival celebrates Muong cultural heritage

The Truong Kha temple festival, a distinctive cultural event held every three years in Vu Ban township, Lac Son district, returned recently with vibrant rituals and folk traditions of the Muong people. Located next to the Buoi River in the Muong Trao fields, the Truong Kha Temple is dedicated to the three Kun Dol deities, revered for teaching farming techniques, irrigation, weaving, and protecting the harvest.

Hoa Binh city residents enjoy upgraded cultural houses

The demand for spaces serving community activities of residents in various areas across Hoa Binh city has been satisfied as local cultural houses now feature modern, spacious facilities thanks to the effective implementation of Resolution No. 49/NQ-HDND issued on December 28, 2021 by the city People's Council, which approved the plan for reorganising, converting, and allocating land for the construction, repair, and expansion of cultural houses in Hoa Binh’s villages and residential areas until 2025.

Enhancing cultural and spiritual life in remote and ethnic minority areas

At the end of May, the Hoa Binh Provincial Ethnic Arts Troupe organized a series of performances for residents in Region 2 and Region 3 communes across the province. Bringing art to ethnic communities in remote, isolated, and especially disadvantaged areas has become a meaningful activity. These are not merely artistic performances but also journeys to disseminate cultural values, enrich spiritual life, and contribute to preserving the cultural identity of ethnic minorities.
