Since 1987, IAP Director David Thomas has lead more than thirty trips to Vietnam. More than one hundred people have visited Vietnam to learn more about Vietnamese art and culture. These trips have ranged from two weeks to two months and have included visits to Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, the Perfume Pagoda, Hue, A Luoi, Da Nang, Hoi An, Pleiku, Kontum, and Ho Chi Minh City.
Most of those traveling to Vietnam have been American artists who are interested in learning more about Vietnamese contemporary art and traditional handicrafts.
