Galerie Quynh was founded in 2000 by Quynh Pham and Robert Cianchi as a non-profit online educational resource that documented and archived the Vietnamese contemporary art scene. A physical space dedicated to a dynamic rotating program of exhibitions opened in December 2003. For over two decades, Galerie Quynh has operated as a hybrid space: a contemporary art gallery and an institution that serves its community through public and educational programs. Collaborating locally and internationally with artists, curators and cultural organizations with diverse creative voices, the gallery has also initiated a number of not-for-profit artist-run community projects such as Sao La led by Nguyễn Kim Tố Lan and Tùng Mai, and CáRô spearheaded by curators Thái Hà and Linh Lê.
