Congratulatory Remarks

Hello. I’m Lee Kwangsoo, the head director of the Korean Fine Arts Association.

My heartiest congratulations to the Organizing Committee for Myeong-dong International Art Festival on holding
the 8th Myeong-dong International Art Festival(MIAF 2023), in Myeong-dong, the center of Jung-gu.

I heard that Myeong-dong International Art Festival will be held titled K-ART SHOW SEOUL with the motto
titled K-ART SHOW SEOUL with the motto “K-ART, from Myeong-dong to New York and to the World”

That’s because MIAF 2023 this year has about 40 galleries and 400 artists both at home and abroad, including
Korean artists in different countries in the world and the 2,000 artworks are put on displayed in 52 room booths
and finally is comprised of special exhibition, project exhibition and contest exhibition. That’s why I have greater
expectations of MIAF 2023 than ever.

Many people must have put in a lot of effort to hold this event. I’d like to applaud the efforts of Director Kwon,
Operation Director Mr. Ha, Art Director Bae and all concerned. Congratulations the galleries and artists both at
home and abroad on joining in the 8th Myeong-dong International Art Festival. I really hope that you all of you
will achieve great results.

I wish Myeong-dong International Art Festival tremendous success.

December 2023
Head Director of Korean Fine Arts Association
