[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] From the 30th of this month to the 4th of next month, Sinan County, Jeollanam-do (County Governor Park Woo-ryang) and the Sinan Cultural Center (Director Joo Jang-bae) will present the exchange exhibition "Bogugot-e Gal Jido" with the Gimpo Cultural Foundation at the Jaeun Dunjang Village Art Museum.

According to the county, the exhibition was planned to expand the art exchange between regions through mutual cross-exhibitions by artists from the Jeolla region and Gyeonggi Province, jointly hosted by the Sinan Cultural Center and the Gimpo Cultural Foundation.

This exchange exhibition will showcase 34 works depicting the story of Bogugot Village over the past four years since the opening of Gimpo's "Small Art Museum Bogugot" in 2017, providing an opportunity to promote Bogugot.

Meanwhile, at Gimpo's Small Art Museum Bogugot, from the 30th of this month to the 4th of next month, 50 pieces including Western paintings, Korean paintings, and photographs expressing the residents of Dunjang Village, where the Dunjang Village Art Museum is located, will be exhibited under the theme "People of Dunjang Village."

The Sinan Cultural Center was selected last year for the Korea Arts & Culture Education Service's Small Art Museum New Establishment Project, and in collaboration with Sinan County, reopened the village hall, a building constructed by Dunjang Village residents themselves in the early 1970s during the Saemaul Undong movement by carrying sand and stacking bricks, as the Dunjang Village Art Museum. Since December last year, various exhibitions that residents can participate in have been held.

County Governor Park Woo-ryang said, "We expect this exhibition to become a foothold for future cultural and artistic exchanges between Sinan and Gimpo," and added, "Since this exhibition features representative artists from Sinan and Gimpo, we ask for your great interest and attendance."
