According to the county on November 18, this exhibition is hosted by the Jangsu Cultural Center and organized by BooknCalli, with cooperation from the Jangsu Calligraphy Club, the Jangsu County Senior and Disabled Welfare Center, and the Jangsu Community Child Center.

The exhibition is designed to showcase a variety of works created with dedication and passion by local amateur artists, all in one place. It will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and admission is free for all visitors.

While the first and second exhibitions were held at the members' own expense, marking a meaningful start for local cultural activities, this year's third exhibition has, for the first time, received support from the Jangsu Cultural Center's arts promotion program, allowing it to be organized in a more stable environment.

This exhibition will feature a total of 60 works by 33 BooknCalli members, including 15 scrolls, 42 framed pieces, and 3 small items, offering a diverse array that will enrich the entire exhibition space.

The works range from traditional brush calligraphy to pieces created with watercolors, brush pens, and oil pastels, providing a wide spectrum of artistic styles for visitors to compare and appreciate the beauty of different techniques.

Ryu Heekyung, head of BooknCalli, said, "Since these works have been passionately completed by our members over the past year, I hope many county residents will visit and enjoy the exhibition."

Choi Hunsik, Governor of Jangsu County, commented, "It is very encouraging to see local community arts activities steadily expanding, providing more opportunities for residents to enjoy culture. I hope this exhibition becomes a meaningful occasion to inspire even more creative expression among local enthusiasts."
