July 29th - August 25, 2023

Cultivating Corea” is a celebration of the depth and richness of Korean culture, from its time-honored traditions to its evolving contemporary expressions. The exhibition explores how art can preserve cultural identity while allowing it to grow and adapt with the times. Each work reflects the resilience, creativity, and spirit of Korea — honoring the values, stories, and aesthetics passed down through generations, while also embracing new interpretations. Through this dialogue between past and present, the show reminds us that culture is not static, but a living, breathing legacy we continue to nurture.
