Making Art in Yongsan Children's Garden

Details

Yongsan Children's Garden used to be a US military camp for many years. Located in the heart of the city, it occupies a huge territory. Now a portion is open to the public, while the rest awaits clearance. When you enter the park, you'll experience a unique atmosphere—though surrounded by apartments, it's peaceful and cozy.

How about translating your unique experience into any artistic form you choose? You can bring your own canvas, notepad, sketchbook, or camera. From the perspective of Asian painting, poetry is formless painting, while painting is wordless poetry—there is no boundary between art forms. You can share any prose or poems inspired by the location. Rather than merely representing what you see, convey what you feel in your heart.

Don't forget to bring your ID card. Foreigners must register at least 11 days in advance (May 13), while Koreans need to register by 3PM the day before. Since the park is adjacent to the presidential office and military department, there will be a brief bag inspection. Though this might be slightly inconvenient, I believe it will be worth it, especially in this season.
