Culture Days in South Korea

June 3rd, 2010 by Lucy White

[logo for 2010 Jeju Haevichi Arts Festival]I am about to travel to South Korea to make a presentation at the Jeju Haevichi Arts Festival at the invitation of the Korean Cultural & Arts Centers Association. I’ve been asked to make special note of Culture Days! I am thrilled that news of Culture Days has spread as far afield as South Korea and a little daunted at the same time. After all, the inaugural Culture Days is still more than 3 months away.

I’m taking the fabulous promo video and I hope that I’ll be able to demonstrate the website. There is already an interesting range of events registered from rug hooking to play readings — that give the flavour of what is to come.

Of course, I’ll be chatting to dozens of arts professionals as well and I hope to bring back useful questions and feedback for the Culture Days team.
As the event grows nearer and the details start to overwhelm us, the news that our initiative is of interest on the other side of the planet is a great reminder that what we are about launch is truly innovative and forward-looking.
