First, the ‘Nowon Desk Gallery’ is being operated in the lobbies on the 1st and 2nd floors of the Nowon District Office. The special spring exhibition "Taking Flight, Together with Nowon" runs until April 10 and is open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. On the 1st floor of the district office, specimens of butterflies from around the world and dioramas are displayed, while on the 2nd floor, ecological photographs of endangered insects are exhibited, offering visitors a healing experience through butterflies and nature as well as a unique cultural experience.

At Hwarangdae Railroad Park, part of the Gyeongchun Line Forest Trail?one of the most popular walking spots among residents?the ‘Gyeongchun Line Forest Trail Gallery’ is in operation. The district runs high-quality curated exhibitions to expand cultural enjoyment opportunities for residents and provide exhibition opportunities for local artists.

Currently, the invited exhibition by artist Lee Ho-jun, titled "Light Paper, Heavy Sculpture," is ongoing until March 30. This exhibition features various sculptural works utilizing the three-dimensionality and spatial sense of paper folding, and a space is provided where visitors can experience paper folding themselves. Admission is free, and the gallery is open from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

A new exhibition art space will open on the 27th at Bulamsan Healing Town, a representative healing leisure space in the district. The frog exhibition room, previously operated at the ‘Bulamsan Ecological Learning Center,’ has been transformed into the gallery-style cultural space ‘Bulamsan Art Foret.’

To commemorate the opening of ‘Bulamsan Art Foret,’ a ‘Pressed Flower’ curated exhibition will be held from March 27 to May 17. It will showcase about 20 award-winning works from the ‘Korea Pressed Flower Exhibition,’ allowing visitors to appreciate delicate pressed flower artworks that capture nature.

Additionally, to celebrate the opening of the ‘Nowon Art Museum’ inside the Nowon Culture and Arts Center, a special exhibition titled ‘Masters of New York’ has been running since January. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to see major works by leading abstract expressionist artists who made a mark in modern art history, including Jackson Pollock’s "Horizontal Composition" (1949), which has been valued at over 200 billion KRW, all gathered in one place for the first time in Korea. The exhibition runs until July 12.

Oh Seung-rok, Mayor of Nowon-gu, said, “We have created cultural spaces throughout the city so that residents can enjoy art without having to set aside special time,” adding, “I hope people will easily appreciate exhibitions and enjoy art in their daily lives and feel closer to it.”
