Joomchi Now,” an exciting look at Korean craft traditions that have
evolved into stunning contemporary art, featuring work by Chunghie Lee, a
bojagi artist and Jiyoung Chung, a joomchi artist. Lee and Chung find rich

Korea. In addition, work by contemporary artists from Korea will be exhibited

Design. This comprehensive exhibit gives viewers an overview of the diverse
styles, techniques, and innovations being created by contemporary artists
