ecmdescription="Body Text">The Korean Art Society and
the Philadelphia Museum of Art have planned for you an
exciting Korean Art Day in Philadelphia, only about a
one hour train ride from New York. We will begin the
day at the annual Philadelphia Museum Craft Fair.
Every year, this fair focuses on and invites artists
from one country, and this year it's Korea! We'll tour
the fair, meet the artists, have lunch and then be
treated to a tour of the PMA's Korean art galleries by
Hyunsoo Woo, Curator of Korean Art. PMA is one of only
4 American museums to have their important Korean
collections catalogued by the Korean government. This
is a very rare opportunity to see a great variety of
antique and contemporary Korean art and artists all at
one time, and promises to be a lot of fun. As always,
the Korean Art Society charges no fee for its part in
this event. You need only pay your transportation
costs and admission fees. <BR>-Robert
Turley<BR><BR>P.S. We have viewed and discussed Minhwa
(Korean Folk Painting) during various KAS events, but
now you can actually learn to create your own Minhwa
at a class conducted by Seongmin Ahn. Please click on
the attachment below to learn more about this fun and
unique learning experience.<BR></TD></TR>
