About VAST Bhutan

VAST Bhutan pursues these goals by:

- Providing art classes to the interested youth.
- Organizing art camps for youth to appreciate art and learn values.
- Initiating programmes related to community services to learn the art-of-giving.
- Facilitating the participation of young artist in national and international art exchange programmes, festivals, and exhibitions.
- Providing a place for youths with personal problems to use art as a therapy and help them develop life skills to face the challenges.

During the pandemic, VAST Bhutan also spearheaded the transformation of the Paro Airport, turning it into the largest art gallery and exhibition space in Bhutan.
