[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Cho Hyung-joo] The graduation exhibition of jewelry design major students from the Department of Fashion and Jewelry Design at Gwangju University (President Kim Hyuk-jong) will be held in Gwangju.

Under the theme "Knocking Together," this graduation exhibition features 11 students showcasing over 40 works, including industrial accessories, artistic accessories, tableware, and three-dimensional sculptures, emphasizing both commercial viability and artistic value based on the skills they have honed over four years.

The first exhibition will be held until the 7th at Hosim Art Museum on the first floor of the Gukgwan Hall at Gwangju University, and from the 8th to the 14th, the venue will move to the Jeonil Building 245 Citizen Gallery in Dong-gu, Gwangju, to welcome visitors.

Starting in 1984 as the Department of Commercial Design, the Jewelry Design major at Gwangju University has established the Craft Design major and the Precious Metal and Gemstone Design major. In 2018, it was reorganized into the Department of Fashion and Jewelry Design with the goal of nurturing creative design leaders for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Oh Byung-wook, head of the Department of Fashion and Jewelry Design at Gwangju University, said, "The passion and efforts of the university and students over the past four years have borne fruit under the name of the graduation exhibition," adding, "We hope these works will contribute to the development of the craft industry as cultural products and be highly valued."
