After a successful kick-off event, The Shops at Skyview are already gearing up for the second event of their 2024 "K-Fun Summer School" Korean culture classes with K-Art!
On Thursday, June 27, 2024 -- from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM -- The Shops at Skyview will hold a celebration of Korean artistic talent on Level 4. During this event, four Korean artists -- including Choi Jin Yon, Jason H. Lee, Jimin Yi Baek, and Park Mi Jeong -- will create a live art installation titled, "Ten Symbols Of Longevity," that features the sun, clouds, mountains, water, pine trees, rocks, reishi mushrooms, cranes, turtles, and deer. Each symbol depicted in the artists' work represents the desire for a long and happy life, a core value that stems from ancient cultures.
Guests in attendance are invited to participate in a mosaic paper coloring activity to help complete the masterpieces on site. Additionally, emerging graphic design artists, including Noh Heewon and Dahui, will also be on hand to create personalized designs on sneakers and t-shirts purchased from the Shops at Skyview retailers.
