It is my great honour and pleasure to extend warm greetings and heartfelt congratulations on behalf of the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Toronto for the Opening of the Rainbow Studio Gallery Art Exhibition, "Together 2024." This year, as we embark upon the 2024-25 Korea-Canada Year of Cultural Exchange, we celebrate not only the enduring friendship between our nations but also the dawn of a new era filled with unprecedented opportunities for exchange, cooperation, and mutual enrichment.
The theme of this year's exhibition, 'peace and prosperity,' resonates deeply with the values and aspirations shared by Korea and Canada, and underscores our united efforts to champion peace, democracy, and human rights globally. As we continue to build upon the solid foundation of our strategic and economic partnerships, events like these play a crucial role in deepening our people-to-people ties and strengthening the bonds of our friendship.
This exhibition, a confluence of Korean and Canadian artistic talents, highlights the potential for innovative and creative collaboration between our countries. It not only celebrates our past achievements but also points towards the rich possibilities that lie ahead. I extend my deepest gratitude to all participating artists for their invaluable contributions and for inspiring us with their vision, creativity, and passion. Your works not only transcend boundaries but also serve as bridges connecting hearts and minds across the globe.
Special thanks to Sungmi Kong, whose visionary leadership and relentless dedication have made this event a reality. Her efforts in promoting Korean art in Canada and fostering cultural exchanges are truly commendable and reflect the spirit of this year's theme.
As we mark the 2024-25 Korea-Canada Year of Cultural Exchange, let us look forward to a future replete with closer ties, enriched communities, and shared successes. May our collaborative endeavours continue to flourish, bringing peace and prosperity to both our nations.
Please accept my warmest wishes for a memorable and impactful exhibition.

Consul General of the Republic of Korea in Toronto

The "Canada-Korea, Together Show" is an art exhibition that commemorates the collaboration and friendship between Canada and Korea. Beyond artistic expression, it aims to develop and implement cultural cooperation projects together. The theme of the "2024 Together Show" is "Peace and Prosperity," symbolizing the understanding, collaboration, and shared flourishing of both nations that have resulted from over 60 years of partnership. This exhibition envisions a future where the two countries continue to thrive together.
Moreover, the event serves as a platform for cultural exchange enjoyed by professional artists from both countries and local residents. It aims to facilitate connections and exchanges, fostering ongoing friendship between Canada and Korea. In a departure from the usual trend of cultural exchange exhibitions being held in major cities like Toronto and Vancouver, the "2024 Together Show" takes place in Oakville, a beautiful suburban city in GTA. This decision makes the cultural exchange accessible to Korean immigrants and local residents in western Ontario, adding significance to the event. Consul General of Korea, Duk Hwan Kim, who attended last year's 'Together' exhibition, expressed pride in this fact.
Additionally, during the exhibition period, we plan to provide local residents with opportunities for art education and artwork creation through professional art workshops involving Canadian and Korean artists. Exhibiting the results in local cultural spaces aims to offer a platform for experiencing art and culture, creating a continuum from direct creation to display. All these activities are believed to not only contribute to the cultural enrichment and growth of our local community but also strengthen the close relationship between the two countries.

Rainbow Roof gallery는 문화와 예술을 지원하는 비영리 단체입니다.
" Canada - Korea, Together Show "는 캐나다와 한국의 협력과 우정을 기념하는 연중 미술 전시회로서,
양국의 아티스트들 문화와 예술을 함께 나누고 기뻐하는 전시회입니다.
“ 2024 Together 2nd Show ”의 주제는 “평화와 번영”으로서, 캐나다와 한국의 61년 동안 지속된 두 나라의 파트너쉽은 이해와 협력,
문화발전과 번영을 나아가기위한 미래적인 목표를 갖고있습니다.
이 전시회는 두 나라의 프로페셔널 아티스트인 8명의 한국 예술가와 8명의 캐나다 예술가들 총 16명의 전시로 이루어져 있으며, 지역 주민들도 함께 즐기는 문화 교류의 행사가 될것입니다.
아쉽게도 대부분의 문화 교류 전시회가 토론토와 밴쿠버와 같은 큰 도시에서 개최되고 있지만, GTA의 아름다운 외곽 도시인 Oakville에서 개최되는 “2024 Together 2nd Show”는
서부 온타리오에 거주하는 한국인 이민자와 현지 주민들에게 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 문화 교류의 장을 제공하게 되어 더욱 의미가 있으며, 작년 'Together' 전시회를 방문한 김득환 한국 영사님 또한 이 사실에 자부심을 표현하셨습니다.
또한, Oakville Art Council 에서 지원받은 Grant를 사용하여 전시회 기간 동안, 전시회에 참여한 프로페셔널 화가들과 함께 Art workshop 클래스를 오픈하여, 지역 주민들에게 교육과 작품 창작의 기회를 참여할 수 있는 예술 전시회가 될것으로 기대가됩니다.
뿐만 아니라, 그 결과물을 지역 문화 공간에 전시함으로써 예술과 문화를 경험할 수있는 즐거운 아트 플랫폼으로 성장할 것입니다.
전시회에 참여한 모든 아티스트들은 기간중 판매된 작품의 15%의 수익금을 Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital에 기증을 할 예정이며, 예술가들의 영향이 지역사회의 도움이 될 수 있음을 보여주게 될 것입니다.
이번 전시회를 통해 우리는 아티스트와 지역 주민들이 서로를 더 이해하고, 문화적으로 더욱 풍요로워지고 성장할 수 있는 전시회가 되기를 바랍니다.

In celebration of the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties between Korea and Canada in 2023, Rainbow studio Gallery planned this exhibition for Korean and Canadian professional and amateur artists. The theme of the exhibition is to commemorate the times the two countries have been "together" for 60 years and will be together in the future.
This exhibition will be held at QEPCCC (Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Center in Oakville) in Oakville for a total of three months, from May 27 to September 8, 2023.
An exhibition of 8 Canadian and 8 Korean artists will be held at the QEPCCCC main gallery: from May 27 to June 16, 2023, and there will also be an exhibition of works by 90 young people, college students, and local amateur artists of all ages and genders. Open May 23 – Sep 8, 2023 at QEPCCCC Corridor Gallery.
Through this exhibition, we hope that if there is active interest and participation of local residents, you can experience a variety of meaningful and enjoyable art exhibitions in the GTA area, and professional painters, amateur painters, and local residents “together” I believe it can be a time of festival to communicate and complete.
In addition, I hope that the courageous attempts of the first-generation immigrants to Canada, who immigrated from various countries, will become a culture of 'participation' in 'seeing' art for the next generation living in Canada, and have time to enjoy various cultures and arts.
The opening ceremony of this exhibition will be held on Saturday, May 27, 2023 at 1:00 at QEPCCC. On a commemorative day celebrating 60 years of friendship between two countries located on opposite sides of the globe, not only Koreans living in Canada but also local residents of various cultures and backgrounds can talk about life “together” and develop. We hope it will be a cultural festival.

Rainbow studio Gallery는 2023년, 한국과 캐나다 수교 60주년을 맞이하여 한국인, 캐네디언 프로 작가와, 아마추어 작가들이 함께 할 수 있는 이번 전시회를 열기되었습니다. 전시의 주제는 두 나라가 60년간 "함께"했고, 또 다시 앞으로 함께 할 시간들을 기념하는 의미로 전시회를 준비했습니다.
이번 전시는 2023년 5월 27일부터 9월 8일 까지, 총 3개월동안 Oakville의 QEPCCC (Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre in Oakville)에서 열립니다. 캐나다 대표 아티스트 8명과 한국대표 아티스트 8명의 전시는 QEPCCCC 메인 갤러리에서 : 2023년 5월 27일부터 –6월 16일까지 이며, 90명 참가자인 청소년들, 대학생과 남녀노소 지역 아마추어 작가들의 작품 전시도 QEPCCCC 복도 갤러리에서2023년 5월 23일부터 –9월 8일까지 열립니다.
이번 전시회를 통해 로컬 Oakville 에서도 적극적인 관심과 참여만 있다면 얼마든지 의미있는 다양하고 즐거운 미술 전시를 체험할 수 있기는 시간과 기회가 되기를 바라며, 프로페셔널 화가님들과 아마추어 화가들, 지역주민이 “함께” 소통하고 완성해 가는 축제의 시간이 될 수 있다고 믿습니다.
또한 , 다양한 나라에서 이민온 캐나다 이민 1세대들의 용기 있는 시도들이 캐나다에 살고있는 다음 세대들에게 ‘보는’ 예술에서 ‘참여 하는’ 문화가 되어 다양한 문화와 예술을 즐길수 있는 여유를 갖기를 바랍니다.
이번 전시의 오픈식은 2023년 5월 27일 토요일 1시, QEPCCC에서 있을 예정입니다. 지구 반대편에 위치한 두 나라의 60년 우정을 축하하는 기념적인 날에, 캐나다에 사시는 한인 교민들 뿐만 아니라 다양한 문화와 배경을 지역 주민분들도 “함께” 사는 삶에 대해 이야기를 나누고 발전할 수 있는 즐거운 문화 축제가 되기를 희망합니다. |
