The exhibition, hosted by the Taebaek City Women-Friendly Team and prepared by the Korean Writers’ Association Gangwon Branch and Taebaek Branch, as well as the Korea Photographers’ Association Taebaek Branch, features ceramic poetry paintings that combine poetry engraved on ceramics with stories from the local community, allowing citizens to appreciate these unique works.

This offers visitors a unique experience that goes beyond visual art to touch the heart. The city hall lobby has been transformed into a gallery, allowing citizens to encounter the artworks naturally, which stands out as a distinctive feature of the event.

A Taebaek City official stated, "This ceramic poetry painting exhibition aims to shed light on the path Taebaek has taken through the lives of women and to share the region’s cultural values and identity with citizens," adding, "We hope that the message of empathy and healing will be conveyed through art."
