Also, at 2 p.m., a presentation by graduates of line dance, saxophone, acoustic guitar, and ocarina courses was held in the multipurpose auditorium on the 3rd floor of the main building, and experience booths such as hair styling and tarot were operated on the 1st floor of the main building, receiving great responses from visitors.

Outdoor booths provided food and beverages such as Korean cuisine, baking, and barista specialties, and the volunteer group Rainbow Hill, composed of instructors and students, held a bazaar, making the event even richer.

At the 'Culture Day' event held that day, under the theme 'Art permeates everyday life,' various performances such as piano trios and acoustic guitar were presented, attracting attention as graduates and visitors harmoniously enjoyed the cultural performance together.

A graduate who participated in the work exhibition said, "Seeing my own work completed and exhibited after four months of education made me feel that my efforts have borne fruit and gave me confidence," adding, "I want to volunteer my talents through the Ability Development Center volunteer group Rainbow Hill in the future."

Mayor Jo said, "Completing a work in a short education period is difficult, but seeing the students' passion sublimated into their works moved me," and added, "We will continue to strive to operate various educational programs to discover the potential of citizens."

The paintings and calligraphy works from the 34th student work exhibition will continue to be displayed until the 16th.
