Minhwa: Korean Folk Painting

Friday June 20, 2025 7:30pm - 8:30pm EDT

Buckhead BR 1 (Lower lobby)

Many KADs who feel disconnected to their Korean-ness due to language barrier and accessibility can connect to Korean culture through art. Art is a powerful educational and healing tool that does not require language or cultural competency. Minhwa: Korean Folk Painting session will be a fun and non-intimidating way to connect to our roots. The publisher (Seo Choi) and author (Hye-Ryung Suk) of the book, “Minhwa Workbook: Learn Korean Painting” will offer a hands-on session where participants will learn about minhwa and create a small painting of their own.

The maximum number of participants is 10. The first 10 people who register and complete Venmo payment will have a reserved seat & supplies. The presenters will send the first sign-ups a Venmo link. There is a $30 per person material fee per person for registration. Please use this registration form.

Your registration is not confirmed until you submit your payment. Please note: this fee is non-refundable
