Hanoi Ceramic Mosaic Mural is part of a very big project of continuous ceramic mosaic murals to be created on a wall running 6.3 kilometers (approximately 4 miles long) along the bank of the Red River in Hanoi. And the section titled "Artists tiles around the World" is running along Au Co street. The start-point is at opposite of Lane 275 Au Co and finish-point is at the Lane 328 Au Co Street. The total length is 307 meters (about 1,006.5 feet) at the height of 1.3 meter (4.26 feet) and the total area is approximately 400 square meters (4,005 square feet).

Nguyen Thu Thuy and the New Hanoi Arts hope that artists from many countries will accept this opportunity to be part of a very special event honoring her beloved city of Hanoi on the occasion of its 1000th birthday.

On the other hand, all participated artists from around the wall will contribute to make this part of wall as unique one, where there is ceramic material from every corner of the Earth. We might together set up even the new world's record with our tiles ! 

Anyone wants to participate, should:  

- Send at least one hand-made tile sized minimum 20 x 20 cm (7.87 x 7.87 inches) and maximum 60x60 cm (23.6 x 23.6 inches) in dimension and up to 2 cm (0.8 inches) thick.

- Tile's theme and technique used to create it is up to you! However, please make the surface flat only (carving is possible) so that your tile can avoid of damage and be forever with the time. Also, as we would build together the International Friendship Wall, please avoid the themes of violence, religion and racism rouses, sexual etc...

- Use appropriate materials and firing for use on an exterior wall!!

- Sign and date the front side of the tile, and include the country of origin (where it was made, clearly CARVE the captures, please...). Please CARVE the country of origin in CAPITAL LETTER, e.g. MEXICO or BELGIUM instead of Mexico or Belgium.

- Information to be CARVED CLEARLY in the tile: Your full name, name of your tile, your city, or village, your country and the date of making the tile.

- Please also send us a one-page resume with personal data (name, address, phone number, email and web-site address & etc...) and 01 portrait picture of you, so that we can upate the list of the participants.

Part of the mural project will include a section of tiles created by Vietnamese children. We invite young people as well to send tiles in a similar format, or smaller one (10cm X 10 cm/ 4" x 4"), with the name of the child, age and country included on the front side...

Please wrap the tiles carefully and send its to:
