The Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles (KCCLA), in partnership with LAUNCH LA, proudly presents an open call exhibition, “Edge of Now,” which will open with a reception at the Korean Cultural Center Art Gallery (located at 5505 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90036) from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 6, 2025.

This open call was designed to foster communication and exchange within the community by showcasing the works of artists from diverse cultural backgrounds, including Korean-American artists. The jury panel included Professor Sunook Park (Professor at the CSULB School of Art and independent curator) and Shana Nys Dambrot (Art critic and independent curator).

The exhibition Edge of Now explores the dynamic interactions and responses of individuals and communities within an ever-evolving cultural landscape. It reflects on how we continuously adapt-or sometimes resist-while shedding light on the formation and significance of identity amid change.

This special exhibition brings together works by Southern California artists from diverse backgrounds, incorporating various media, materials, and techniques to create new artistic expressions. The selected artists present 40 pieces, including oil paintings, drawings, photography, and mixed media, offering fresh perspectives on contemporary culture and our time.

The exhibition is open to the public, and the show will run until March 28th, 2025.
