This week, I’d like to take you inside one of my favorite cities in Korea, Gal-gyo (or “G Gallery” as it is popularly known). You will learn more about this beautiful city by exploring some of its best attractions and facilities.
If you are looking for low key places to visit or need someone to show you around, then look no further than our article today!
I have partnered up with an organization here that helps promote tourism in South Korea through creating new experiences for people to explore. They call themselves, “Tourism Ambassador”s and they’re very passionate about bringing in visitors to this country.
They’ll be showing off some of the must see sights in the capital area and beyond while also sharing information about the local culture. Best of all, these tourists get guided tours and VIP access which makes your experience much better than before!
Their goal is to give you the chance to connect with other travelers and enjoy the wonders of the Korean countryside and coast. Who knows? You could make new friends who will become traveling partners later on. Win win situation!
This partnership gives you two things; a great tour guide and incredible memories.
Art Gallery Daegu
On October 30, there will be an art exhibition at Dongguk University’s Culture Center titled “The Best of The Year 2018.” It is being organized by the Department of Visual Arts in collaboration with KUMON Korea and DAEWOO Fine Art.
Participating artists include Lee Kyung-hee (painter), Kim Hyun-jun (photographer), Jung Seok-hyun (sculptor) and Hwang In-chan (calligrapher). All four have exhibited their work before, but this event will feature new pieces that they made for this show.
Their works are all related to the theme of nature. Each artist chose a different type of natural setting as his or her medium, and then experimented with it to find new ways to express themselves. For instance, Lee uses bright colors to emphasize the intensity of light in nature, while Kim uses silhouettes to convey space within the environment.
Sculptors such as Jung use materials like sand or dirt to create shapes and patterns. And calligraphers write poetry using brush strokes to evoke inspiration. All these artists combine their styles together to make vibrant pictures that portray our connection with nature.
Art Gallery Busan
In other parts of Asia, like Japan or China for example, there are art galleries that feature mostly Japanese or Chinese artwork. But in South Korea, it is totally different!
There are many different types of art galleries here. Some only feature one style of art, while others have several. They all seem to cater to every type of person though, which is great to know!
Some may focus more on conceptual art, while others may showcase photography or watercolor paintings. It really does not matter what kind of art they have, as most are free to browse through and look at.
A few even allow you to make purchases from the displayed pieces! This way, you do not have to worry about buying everything online because some places also offer credit card services.
Art Gallery Gwangju
While both Art Galleries have dedicated spaces for exhibitions, they also play an important role in supporting other events that are not necessarily exhibition-focused. They typically hold open discussions or give short talks about art, artists, or genres of art.
Art galleries often organize artist meet and greets or receptions where people can speak with the artist as well as each other. Some even offer snacks or drinks! This is particularly helpful for more popular artists who may be busy during the event schedule.
At The Gallery Room we believe that having conversations about art is one of the most powerful ways to appreciate it. We wanted to create a space where you feel comfortable exploring different styles of painting, sculpture, and illustration.
Art Gallery Daejeon
Located in Daejeong, The Art Gallery is an art space that offers both visiting artists to showcase their work and for you to watch them create!
The gallery has two exhibition spaces, one large and one small. The larger room can hold up to six pieces of artwork at a time with enough space around it to comfortably show off each piece.
There are also several seats outside where visitors can relax while listening to music or chatting. During exhibitions there are always snacks and drinks available for purchase from the restaurant next door.
What makes this place special though is not just what they offer directly to guests, but how they connect with the local community as well.
They host weekly open mic nights where anyone can come and share their own creative side project or play some music! They also have monthly events such as movie screenings and karaoke sessions.
Their goal is to encourage everyone to explore creativity and enjoy artistic expression, which is why they provide free entry every month and donation boxes at all times.
Art Gallery Ulsan
Located in Gangneung, just outside of Gimpo International Airport is an art gallery that has become very popular among tourists. The name of the organization is Art Gallery Ul-san and it was opened in May of 2017.
Artists are paid to come here and show their work to the public for free. Artists pay to stay at one of the many hotels close by so they do not have to spend money on lodging while visiting this site.
This allows them to focus more on creating artwork and promoting themselves! The staff members at these sites help artists promote their works as well – giving you appropriate tips for marketing your art and connecting with others in the art community.
Art Gallery Seoul
This is one of the greatest things to do in Korea if you are looking to expand your culture horizons. There are many ways to visit this art gallery, so there is something for everyone!
Most people know about The Gangnam Art Museum which was built back in 2007 and has since become very popular with tourists. But did you know that there’s an even bigger museum just outside of downtown called The Global Art Center?
This place was designed by the same architect as the Gangnam Art Museum and it features all sorts of different styles and cultures from around the world. Visitors can explore various mediums such as painting, sculpture, jewelry making, pottery, and more.
There are also classes available at the art studio where you can learn new skills or perfect ones you already have. One of my favorite classes here is the ceramics class where we make our own ceramic bowls and plates.
We use fresh ingredients mixed together to create fun shapes and beautiful designs and then we fire them in a kiln. It’s kind of like baking, but instead of having to wait hours for a cookie to bake, you get to see the results immediately!
I hope you enjoyed reading some tips for traveling in South Korea. If you had success in your travels while studying abroad in Asia, feel free to leave a comment below telling us how.
Art Gallery Incheon
Located in one of South Korea’s most affluent areas, The Art Gallery Incheon is an incredible space that features exhibitions from both local and international artists. It is also home to our annual summer exhibition which has always been well-received!
The gallery opened its doors for the first time back in 2014 with Only You Can Heal Me as their featured show. Since then, it has hosted over twenty different shows every year, including this past spring’s exhibition My Way.
Visitors are able to explore the various displays at their leisure, taking breaks when needed. There are no set hours aside for the museum so you can come any time if you would like to see a particular piece or learn more about the artist.
There is free wifi available too, so you do not have to worry about being connected while exploring the area. If you are hungry after your visit, the surrounding area is filled with great dining options.
Art Gallery Hong Kong
In addition to being artistic, art galleries offer an additional way to use space beautifully in your home or business. They are typically larger than their counterparts such as coffee shops that have limited amount of room for seating and merchandise.
Art gallery spaces are usually very aesthetically pleasing and elegant. This is due to all of the beautiful materials used to create them and how they are organized. Many people enjoy exploring different types of art and artists through visits to museums and visiting various collections at art fairs and exhibitions.
There are many ways to use art galleries as a starting place for decorations or to gather new pieces. Some sellers will release catalogues or brochures about new pieces or events they are attending so do some research and see if there is one near you!
I hope you enjoyed this article about why art galleries are important to organize and decorate with.
