'Residents' Path' Becomes Scenery…Village Art Exhibition at Dongcheon Library Through 25th

At the 'Book Forest' on the basement level 1 of Dongcheon Library in Yongin Special City, an exhibition of residents' village landscape works titled 'Drawings, Becoming Memories' is running through the 25th.

The exhibition, which began on the 20th, was organized by Dongcheon Library in cooperation with 'Art Platform Kkumjirak Cooperative,' a local arts organization. The works painted by residents who walked through their neighborhood themselves embody everyday memories.

Fourteen residents participated in the exhibition, showcasing approximately 80 works depicting 30 major locations in Dongcheon-dong and Gogi-dong.

One participant in the exhibition said, "By drawing the village landscapes we normally pass by without much thought, I was able to discover new charms of our neighborhood. I hope many people will enjoy the works and have a moment to recall precious memories connected to our village."

The 'Art Platform Kkumjirak Cooperative,' which planned the exhibition, is an organization composed of local residents who love art and engages in diverse cultural and artistic activities, operating various classes and cultural events.

A city official said, "This exhibition is an occasion to share precious memories of our village through the landscapes of Dongcheon-dong and Gogi-dong observed and painted directly by residents. We hope many citizens will visit the nearby library, appreciate familiar village landscapes in paintings, and have a moment to reminisce about cherished memories in their daily lives."
