The Daejeon Arts Collective
Daejeon, SOUTH KOREA - This unique online exhibit was sent to us by the Daejeon Arts Collective, a group made up of artists from all over the globe currently residing in Daejeon. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 and social distancing, the collective’s Spring 2020 exhibit in Daejeon has been cancelled. The exhibit is entitled ‘Perpetuate the Phenomenon’ and it is just stunning!
From the submission:
The Daejeon Arts Collective is an association of artists from around the world living in Daejeon. The collective consists of artists from Canada, Congo, Ireland, South Africa, South Korea, and the United States. Currently, there are more than 20 active members, and there have been an estimated 50 members since the founding of the group in 2011. The first exhibition was in the fall of 2011 under the direction of Aaron D’Albey, who was director and organizer from 2011-2013. In 2013, the group formally became an artists’ collective. From 2013 to 2017, Rosalie Osborn Knaack served as president of the association. Since the spring of 2017, it was decided that the position of president would be retired and the group would instead have a team leader. The current team leader is Christopher Maslon.
The Daejeon Arts Collective hosts exhibitions twice a year and has become an important element in the international community of Daejeon. Artists in the collective present a wide variety of work, including (but not limited to) painting, silk screen, ceramics, multi-media, embroidery, wood working, photography, paper cutting, and sculpture. Beyond the semi-annual Daejeon Arts Collective exhibitions, our members exhibit their work in galleries across Korea and internationally.
This online exhibit has EVERYTHING. We are so glad we get to share it and support this incredible group of artists. Take a look at at the link below!
