The 33rd Annual Exhibition of Korean-American Calligraphy Association
The Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles (KCCLA, Director Sangwon Jung) & Korean-American Calligraphy Association (KACA) presented 'The 33rd Annual Exhibition of Korean-American Calligraphy Association,' for two weeks from July 11, 2024.
This exhibition showcased the 52 artists’ diverse Calligraphy artworks created under the theme of "Bring the Soul of Korea into the World."
Director Sangwon Jung of the Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles (KCCLA) remarked, “Calligraphy was a unique art form that developed within Korea's long history and tradition. The ink symbolized the depth of the heart, and the brush represented expressiveness. Thus, calligraphy was more than just writing; it was a form of expression that encapsulated the artist's thoughts and emotions, and it was said to be a crucial key to understanding the Korean's sentiments and aesthetic sense. Through this year's exhibition, we hoped to present the beauty and inspiration of Korean calligraphy.”
Since its establishment in 1990, the Korean-American Calligraphy Association has been dedicated to supporting the endeavors of Korean calligraphers in the United States. Their efforts have been focused on introducing and preserving Korea’s heritage of Calligraphy within mainstream American society and various ethnic communities. Serving as a cultural and artistic cornerstone, KACA has been tirelessly working towards the advancement of Korean traditional culture through impactful Korean calligraphy exhibitions and engaging workshops.
