The Chiang Rai Contemporary Art Museum (CCAM by Art Bridge) cordially invites you to the grand opening of “Return Tickets: Phuket → Chiang Rai,” featuring three exceptional art exhibitions, on 11 July 2026 at 6 pm.
The Thailand Biennale, organized by the Ministry of Culture, is Thailand’s premier contemporary art festival, rotating its host province every two years. Hosted by Chiang Rai in 2023, the event remains deeply etched in the memories of both visitors and locals alike.
For its latest iteration, the festival journeyed from the northernmost frontier down to Phuket. Chiang Rai artists remained vital participants on this national stage, contributing significantly to both the main exhibition and the festival pavilions.
Following the conclusion of the biennale, Art Bridge has brought three key projects created by Chiang Rai artists for the Thailand Biennale, Phuket 2025 “Eternal [Kalpa]” back home. This homecoming serves as an invitation to celebrate the endless stream of creativity flowing from the people of Chiang Rai.
Join us from 11 July — 10 September 2026
“Heading South and Heading North” by Supapong Laodheerasiri
Selected as one of the 65 artists for the main exhibition of the latest Thailand Biennale, the Chiang Rai-born artist presents the installation of everyday objects stripped of their original meanings. His work invites viewers to look closer and reconstruct their own interpretations of these materials.
“Eternal Faith” By Art Bridge Chiang Rai
Artists from the association united to create a Lanna-style pavilion within the Sukho Pavilion. Inspired by Tung Phra Bot (traditional Buddhist banner paintings), the installation showcases diverse artworks reflecting Chiang Rai’s rich cultural heritage, displayed across more than 50 cascading banners.
“There Is No New Wave, Only the Sea” by Anyarat Suriya & Putthikarn Sawangkarn
Created by the CycleMind duo, who specialize in mindfulness arts, this project transforms the architectural space into a living, meditative experience through the poetic interplay of light and sound.
Experience all three presentations at the Chiang Rai Contemporary Art Museum (CCAM by Art Bridge). Tuesday – Sunday, 9 am – 5 pm. Organized through the cooperation of Art Bridge Chiang Rai, Hangpui Art Space, and CycleMind.
