The exhibition will open with the reception at the Art Gallery of the Korean Cultural Center (located at 5505 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90036) on Thursday, November 7, 2024, from 7:00p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

The event celebrates California’s first "Hanbok Day" anniversary. As part of the Korean Traditional Art Series, this fifth installment honors the beauty and craftsmanship of Hanbok.
