Suwon Saemaul Society Creates Road Gallery

Jangan-gu District in Suwon announced on the 26th that the Suwon Saemaul Society (Chairman Kim Bong-sik) organized 40 university volunteer members from Y-SMU (You-Saemaul Movement) Suwon Forum, consisting of fine arts students from Kyonggi University and Ajou University, to create a road gallery along a 1.5-kilometer stretch in front of Suwon Complex Sports Stadium in Jowon-dong.

Supported by Jangan-gu District, the project was completed over 15 days, with 40 displayed works including landscape paintings and creative pieces directly created by the students, brightening and softening the street.

In particular, spotlight lighting was installed on the picture frames, transforming the space into an area where artwork can be appreciated even at night.

Regarding the road gallery creation, the district plans to hold an appreciation event on the 27th at 5 p.m. in the main conference room of Jangan-gu Office, with the participation of Jangan-gu Chief Ra Su-heung, Chairman Kim Bong-sik, and students to encourage the volunteers.

Chief Ra stated, "This is a road exhibition space for citizens created by students and civic organizations," adding, "It will improve urban aesthetics and, with nighttime lighting, contribute to preventing nighttime crimes by creating a safe street environment."
