2024년 구정 미술 전시회가 성공적으로 개최되었음을 발표하게 되어 기쁘게 생각합니다. 유타홀리 언어 센터에서 열린 이 전시회에는 초등학교 6학년에서 12학년 학생들의 작품과 교직원 및 학부모의 작품이 전시되었습니다. 

The exhibition was a celebration of the Year of the Dragon. The dragon is a symbol of strength, power, and good luck. The students’ artwork reflected the beauty and symbolism of the dragon in a wide range of creative and personal interpretations.

The exhibition was a great success, and it was well-attended by students, parents, and members of the community. The students were clearly proud of their work, and they enjoyed sharing it with others. The exhibition was also a great way to learn about Chinese culture and traditions, as well as the characteristics and stories in relation to the powerful Chinese dragon.

A big thank you to our guest judges, Valentine Denizeau and Suixin Zhang from the Art Institute of the Orient for taking time to view all of the entries in this dragon art competition. A special congratulations to the following participants who achieved an award for their contributions:

The exhibition featured a wide variety of artwork, including paintings, sculptures, digital and mixed media pieces. All of the pieces were inspired by the Chinese New Year and the symbolism of the dragon. 

The exhibition was also accompanied by music provided by UISG violinists, which added to the festive atmosphere of the event. 

We would like to thank all of the students and families who participated in the exhibition, as well as the parents and UISG community members who attended. 

The exhibition was a wonderful way to celebrate the Year of the Dragon and to learn about Chinese culture. As always we are so proud of our UISG artists and their work, and we look forward to seeing more creative contributions in the future. 

Happy New Year!
