In celebration of the founding month of 2024, the 30th Artwork Competition Exhibition of the Korea Cultural Center Association and the Korea Crafts and Skill Association will be held from Feb. 21 to 27 at Arisu Gallery in Insa-dong, Seoul.

With the theme "Life in 2024," the exhibition highlights the activities of the Korean Cultural Center, which has been dedicated to a wide range of cultural and artistic education, including craft programs, for 25 years, and has been spreading both professional and artistic life crafts to the public.

The works that fill and connect the exhibition hall with a variety of materials and themes from all genres make everyone feel the joy of creating with cultural arts, and showcase the new beauty of everyday art that can promote other everyday art.

As an important cultural and artistic training institution in Korea, the Korea Cultural Center will actively promote our unique culture and art, while further raising the status of Korean cultural and artistic education beyond Korea and overseas through this exhibition with its high-quality educational and liberal arts contents.

Lee Kum-duk, chairperson of the Korea Cultural Center Association, said that she hopes that the works in the '2024 Life Story' exhibition contest will serve as an important stepping stone, and that it reflects the solid history and pride of Korea Cultural Center, which have been educating programs that are in line with trends, not only in tradition but also in modern times, as professional artists, and congratulates those who submitted excellent works through this exhibition.
