One-Day Classes with Local Artists
Experience Unique Culture with Gwangju Creatives
Gwangju Dong-gu (District Mayor Lim Taek) announced on the 26th that its signature content-based tourist information center, "Traveler's House (ZIP)," will launch a new cultural experience program called "Stay, Ga(家)" in collaboration with local artists every Saturday starting from the 29th.
"Stay, Ga(家)" is a brand-new program being introduced for the first time at Traveler's House this year and marks the beginning of the "Dong(ne)gu(gyeong) Project." It is designed as a one-day class for travelers visiting Gwangju to enjoy while staying at Traveler's House. Through collaboration with local artists, participants can gain artistic inspiration and experience unique local culture up close.
In particular, as the program covers a variety of themes that families with young children can also enjoy, it is expected to provide meaningful experiences for family participants as well. The program will be held every Saturday (1?3 p.m.) on the second floor of Traveler's House, starting from the 29th.
The main program includes: ▲ Session 1 - Making homemade bottle cakes for dogs (March 29), ▲ Session 2 - Creating your own Moaring bracelet (April 5), ▲ Session 3 - Making custom shoe accessories using Gwangju and Jeonnam rice (April 12), and more. Each week, 10 participants will be recruited via Naver Reservation, and the participation fee is 5,000 won per person.
Lim Taek, Mayor of Dong-gu, said, "Through 'Stay, Ga,' we hope that travelers will have a deeper experience in Gwangju and interact with local residents," adding, "We aim to provide special memories for tourists visiting Gwangju and new cultural stimulation for local residents through a variety of programs."
