K-Arts & KCCNY’s “Creatives in Motion” Concludes Successfully

From January 14 to 18 at the Korean Cultural Center in New York (KCCNY), the Performance & Exhibition Center of K-Arts (Director Hong Kiwon) and KCCNY (Executive Director Kim Cheon-soo) presented “Creatives in Motion” in collaboration. The event, consisting of 4 concerts, 5 exhibitions, and 2 networking programs, was the first step of an art-cultural collaboration project between the two institutions.

Notably, some of the programs were introduced at the ProEx table by the International Society for the Performing Arts (ISPA). The introduced programs were as follows: Chloe J. Mun’s piano recital, EleK-Tradition’s “Painting,” Hammer’s “K.R.U.S.H!,” T.O.B Group’s “Tom and Jerry,” Sanghee’s “Oneroom-Babel,” Minkyeong Kwon’s “Korea Mutation Creature,” and Hwia Kim’s “Fish Eggs.”

The event expanded the horizon of K-Arts’s artistic activities by engaging in networking with the audience, local art school students, and professionals in the related industry at the heart of arts and culture, New York.

Director Hong Kiwon said, “This program was invaluable in that our artists were encouraged to experiment with their own art practices at the same time as they were available to get feedback from their peers and experts. They have grown and gained confidence toward the end of the event.”

Beginning with “Creatives in Motion,” K-Arts and KCCNY seek to establish a long-term cooperation system to promote and distribute high-quality cultural content by K-Arts.
