‘Gijang County Office Building Transformed into Art Museum’… Gijang County Opens Art Gallery

Exhibition of Works on the Theme of Gunhwa (郡花) Azalea by Artist Kim Byungsoo

On the 17th, Gijang-gun, Busan held an 'Art Gallery Opening Ceremony' in the lobby on the first floor of the government office.

To enhance the cultural welfare of residents and employees visiting the government office, the county created a gallery space on the wall of the first-floor lobby of the Gijang-gun Office. Starting with this opening ceremony, an exhibition of works by artist Kim Byung-soo, themed on azaleas, will be held for one month until November 16.

Artist Kim Byung-soo has worked using azaleas, which are commonly seen every spring in Korea, as his subject. Through his works, he conveys the joy of love, the flower language of azaleas. Azaleas are the county flower of Gijang-gun and symbolize the harmony, unity, and patriotism of the residents.

The gallery is open to the public free of charge, and for detailed information regarding gallery operations, please contact the Culture and Sports Division of Gijang-gun Office.

County Governor Jeong Jong-bok stated, "I hope that the creation of this art gallery space and the exhibition of works will provide an opportunity for residents visiting the government office to enjoy cultural content."
