ART ON FARM
ART ON FARM
This year, the theme for Jim Thompson Farm is ‘ISAN CALLING’. We are delighted to bring together 18 leading artists, fresh from exhibiting at world-class international art events such as the Thailand Biennale, Chiang Rai (2023), the Venice Biennale (2023), and the Asia Pacific Triennial, Brisbane (2024). These renowned artists come from across the country, from the North, Northeast (Isan), and Central regions, as well as overseas. Their legendary works of art connect various cultures in the unique space of the farm.
The emphasis is on using local materials, craftsmanship, sustainability, and eco-consciousness and the aim is to transform this space into a significant cultural and artistic park for the Isan region.
