An invitational exhibition of 75 Korean artists is being held in the lobby of Carson City Hall, the U.S. from March 18 to 22. The exhibition, hosted by the Damwha Cultural Foundation (Chairman Damwha Lee Jon-young) and the Federation of Arts and Cultural Organizations of the Americas (Chairman Kim Jun-bae), is organized by the World Peace Art Exhibition Organizing Committee, and sponsored by the UN Journal, Diplomacy Journal, K-Culture, and Citizens’ Administrative Newspaper.

This year, the 71st anniversary of the U.S.-Korea Alliance, will be remembered as a historic exhibition as the two countries look toward a new alliance as an "alliance in action." 

The exhibition carries the message of a sustainable future for the alliance, which is the starting point of Korean history, when Koreans arrived in Hawaii 120 years ago and settled in the U.S. mainland through San Francisco. 

The exhibition of 75 Korean artists is free and open to the public from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.

This is the 25th edition of the Carson City exhibition, and it is expected to attract a lot of interest from Korean Americans and locals alike, as it is a rare opportunity to see the works of 75 Korean artists with different painting styles in one place, and it is also a rare opportunity to get a glimpse of the trend of Korean art through the participation of folk painting artists.

The opening ceremony was held at 5 p.m. local time on Tuesday, Sept. 19, in the lobby of Carson City Hall, with the mayor and city council members in attendance.
