‘Love is Love’... Gangnam Art Walking: See the Exhibition and Make a Donation

Gangnam-gu Donates to Underprivileged Children on the 1st with Galleria Department Store and G Gallery, Including Donuts and School Supplies

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jeong Soon-gyun) donated 25 million KRW, part of the proceeds from the first season of the exhibition tour project "Gangnam Art Walking," co-hosted with Apgujeong Galleria Department Store, to children from vulnerable groups on the 1st.

"Gangnam Art Walking" was a project co-hosted with Apgujeong Galleria Department Store in April and May, providing residents with a cultural and artistic experience they can enjoy while strolling through the city.

It was planned to revitalize the stagnant cultural and artistic sector as well as the local economy.

The donation delivered to the Gangnam Welfare Foundation by G Gallery, which planned the Michael Scoggins exhibition with Galleria Department Store, amounts to 7% of the revenue earned from artwork sales.

The Gangnam Welfare Foundation plans to use this for welfare expenses for low-income children. They also received donated items including 2,000 Noted Donuts and 50 sets of school supplies.

The first season, involving 10 local galleries including Galleria Department Store and G Gallery, chose the theme "Love is Love" to raise public awareness about child abuse, a recent social issue.

Visitors can enjoy individual or group gallery tours with expert commentary, and the program operates by advance reservation.

Admission is free.

In accordance with detailed social distancing guidelines, group tours (up to 15 people) are limited to five sessions. The June gallery operation schedule for individual Gangnam Art Walking tour applications can be found on the Gangnam-gu Office website.
