A Special Space for Learning and Relaxation
๐จ Yulgok Cultural Academy Art Exhibition ๐จ
From October 21 to November 4,
an exhibition of works by participants of the citizen lecture series was held!
As a participant myself, I received an invitation and hurried to see the exhibition on the last day.
Yulgok Cultural Academy is a space created by repurposing the former Beowon Elementary School.
It offers various programs for residents of Paju, including citizen lectures, art classes, and family healing programs.
This transformation of a closed school into a cultural space is a fantastic example!
Yulgok Cultural Academy is located at 970-9 Suri-hol-ro, Paju, Gyeonggi-do.
Operating hours are Tuesday to Saturday, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Closed on Sundays, Mondays, and public holidays.
At Yulgok Cultural Academy, various art citizen lectures are ongoing.
I participated in a macramรฉ class that started in June after recruitment in May.
The class consisted of six sessions held every Tuesday from 1 PM to 3 PM.
There are many other excellent programs, making me want to continue participating.
In addition to macramรฉ, there were classes in music, scent making, drawing, watercolor, rattan weaving, and pottery.
The 'All Together Activity' I participated in was held from September to October with a total of eight sessions.
It was fully funded, providing a great opportunity to learn various hobbies for the citizens of Paju.
The photos of the works displayed include my creations from the sixth macramรฉ class!
I had a wonderful time participating in the macramรฉ class at Yulgok Cultural Academy, which I had always wanted to try.
Today, I visited to appreciate the art exhibition.
It felt great to return to Yulgok Cultural Academy after a long time.
As I entered, I first saw the dance studio.
The names of the classrooms, like Shin Saimdang Room and Yulgok I Lee Room, were quite unique.
The hallway of Yulgok Cultural Academy always features various artworks on display.
Walking through the hallway while enjoying the artworks brings a little joy.
The exhibition space for the Yulgok Cultural Academy Art Exhibition in 2026 is compact but filled with a variety of works.
It was enjoyable to appreciate each piece on display.
I noticed macramรฉ and rattan works, along with watercolor and ceramic pieces.
The rattan basket caught my eye with its beautiful design and practicality!
This is a macramรฉ piece I created during the last session, a macramรฉ dream catcher.
Isn't it beautiful?
I also took some photos of the lovely ceramic plates on display.
There were perfumes made in the scent-making class on display as well.
I was impressed by the variety and quality of classes offered at Yulgok Cultural Academy!
It felt especially meaningful that the exhibition featured works made by the students themselves.
After touring the exhibition, I decided to explore the outdoor barefoot walking path.
The fallen leaves greeted me as I stepped outside.
The barefoot walking path at Yulgok Cultural Academy features clay paths and a wash station for feet.
Despite the chilly weather, the fresh air lifted my spirits.
There is an eco-friendly zeolites ball pool, which seems to have a good acupressure effect.
It would be a great experience for children as well.
There are also exercise equipment available, making it a good space to stay healthy and spend time leisurely.
The colorful autumn leaves were so beautiful that I captured them in photos.
Seeing the trees adorned in vibrant colors under the clear blue autumn sky made me feel the essence of fall.
After walking on the clay path, I felt lighter in both body and spirit, fully recharged with autumn vibes!
It was a happy time spent exploring the citizen lecture exhibition and enjoying the barefoot walking path while appreciating the colorful autumn leaves.
Today, I introduced the Yulgok Cultural Academy citizen lecture exhibition and the barefoot walking path!
Yulgok Cultural Academy offers various programs, so please check them out!
