TICA Networking Cocktail

This month, The TICA Networking Cocktail event took place at BAB Box, One Bangkok, and marked a partnership between significant arts events this year.

TICA members are probably aware that the Bangkok Art Biennale 2018 is the first of such event to be organised in Bangkok. The event aims to introduce the City of Angels as an alluring destination for artists in the international community. Artists, art enthusiasts, writers and media have been coming together on a creative platform since the event began on October 19th, and will continue to do so until the event is completed on February 3rd, 2019.

At our networking function we were honoured to have the Chief Executive and Artistic Director of the Biennale, Prof. Dr. Apinan Poshyananda, introduce the illustrious event to all guests.

Here are some snapshots from The TICA Networking Cocktail. We would like to extend a thank you to our TICA members who joined us, as well as a big thank you to all our sponsors, including BAB Box One Bangkok, Thai Beverage Public Co.Ltd., C Asean, and Fuzio Co., Ltd.
