Art Nation is the premier and sole bilingual art publication in Vietnam.

Initially launched in Singapore in 2013, Art Republik quickly established itself as the leading art publication in the “Lion City.” Officially entering Vietnam in late 2019 under the support of its parent company, Art Republik Vietnam published two issues annually and was distributed across numerous galleries in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. In the past five years, Art Republik has published 8 issues, each featuring 4 cover variations, with a total circulation exceeding 15,000 copies, while also hosting over 30 annual art events.

In December 2025, Art Republik underwent a brand repositioning, relaunching as Art Nation. The new brand maintains the core value of being the premier and sole bilingual art publication in Vietnam, playing a pivotal role in shaping and disseminating art discussions across the spectrum of domestic and international art history.

This transition to Art Nation signifies a strategic development and an elevation of its brand identity: moving from a specialised magazine to an inclusive platform aimed at fostering an open, pioneering art community and nurturing a spirit of democratic dialogue within critical art discourse. Together with the new identity, the publication will increase our frequency to quarterly, and expand our distribution domestically and internationally and digitally. New community-building programmes targeting art collectors, patrons, practitioners, and researchers will also kick start in 2026.
