From July 1, Damyanggun Craftsperson Association Members and Master Artisans to Participate in Various Exhibitions, Experiences, and Sales of Crafts

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeonnam Damyang-gun announced on the 29th that it will hold an exhibition titled "Walking Here, Walking There" from the 1st to the 15th of next month to commemorate the opening of the exhibition hall following the completion of the Damju Art District Yeju Section, hosted by the Damyang-gun Craftsmen Association (Chairman Heo Mu).

This exhibition will be held in the form of solo exhibitions by 25 members and master craftsmen of the Damyang-gun Craftsmen Association in each room space of the Yeju Section.

Through the display of various craftworks, the event aims to showcase the excellence of Damyang's craft culture and explore its industrialization potential, featuring woodworking, traditional Korean music crafts, hanji paper crafts, ceramic crafts, wood crafts, bamboo crafts, metal crafts, and natural dyeing.

The Damju Art District Yeju Section was developed by constructing new buildings and remodeling old market buildings on Damju 4-gil in Damyang-eup, based on modern Damyang architecture, to create a "complex cultural art street that embraces Damyang's past and prepares for the future."

Here, through the promotion of a complex exhibition industry, it plans to serve as a bridge for regional cultural development and economic revitalization, while testing the potential of the complex exhibition industry by hosting various exhibitions and related sales events in diverse fields.

This exhibition will include not only display events but also hands-on experiences and sales, and due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, no separate opening ceremony will be held.

A county official said, "As this is the first official exhibition of the Damju Art District, we hope many people will watch with interest," and added, "When visiting, please strictly follow quarantine rules and limit visits to four people or fewer."
