Lao Art Week is a national platform for contemporary art and culture in Laos, established in 2022 with the inaugural XYZ Contemporary Art Exhibition. Since then, it has grown into an annual celebration that brings together artists, curators, and creative communities from across the country and the region. Through exhibitions, performances, workshops, and community programmes, Lao Art Week highlights innovation, cultural heritage, and social dialogue, sharing the creativity of Laos with the world.

With year-round programmes and the annual festival, it brings communities together, celebrates cultural heritage, and supports contemporary expression that reflects the spirit of Laos today.
Looking forward, Lao Art Week envisions itself as the leading cultural institution of Laos, recognised as a national platform that celebrates creativity, empowers cultural practitioners, and bridges local traditions with global networks. By positioning Lao creative voices on the world stage, it strives to ensure that heritage and innovation together shape an inclusive and sustainable cultural future for Laos.
