The Cultural Keepers Foundation will open its first bazaar tomorrow to raise funds for research and development of Korean traditional culture.
The foundation, also known as Arumjigi, is a non-profit organization established in 2001 that carries out a variety of projects to help preserve the nation’s cultural heritage. It recently held exhibitions to promote traditional culture and helped clean and beautify traditional villages and cultural heritage sites.
The bazaar will be packed with beauty and lifestyle products donated by companies and individual supporters. Participating companies include international fashion houses such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Hermes, Max Mara, Marc Jacobs, Ferragamo, Tods and Prada, jewelry brands like De Beers, cosmetic brands like Guerlain, Lancome, Biotherm, porcelain brands like Hankook Chinaware and some liquor brands.
Mugs designed by artists such as Jeong Jae-hyo, Lee Eun-beom, Lee Chang-hwa, Han Jeong-yong and Heo Sang-wook will be on sale and seasonal regional food will be served at the bazaar as well.
The proceeds from the event will be used for the “Yi Sang Project” which aims to transform Korean poet Yi Sang’s house into a cultural space and also for creating a “Korean Cultural Room” at Pittsburg State University in the United States.
The bazaar will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at JNB Gallery in Horim Museum in Sinsa-dong, Seoul. Admission is 10,000 won. For details, call (02) 741-8375 or visit www.arumjigi.org
