New Initiative Promotes Korean Culture Through Museums, Restaurants, and Special Discounts

Korean Cultural Center New York

The Korean Cultural Center New York has initiated the "It's Time for K-Culture" campaign to bolster the presence of Korean culture and related events in New York. As part of the campaign, a dedicated brochure has been released, detailing various New York museums, stores, and restaurants hosting, or planning to host, Korean-themed events throughout November and December.

The campaign highlights several notable events, including "Lineages: Korean Art at The Met," commencing on November 7 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and "Only the Young: Experimental Art in Korea, 1960s–1970s," currently on display at the Guggenheim Museum until January 4, 2024. In addition, the New York Public Library will host a book conference featuring Korean authors Bora Chung and Anton Hur on November 3.

Supported by New York City, a total of 52 venues, encompassing seven museums, four concert halls, and 26 Korean restaurants, have joined the campaign. Visitors who present either a printed or online brochure at participating establishments in November can enjoy discounts of up to 30 percent on their purchases.

The online brochure is accessible through the official website of the Korean Cultural Center New York. Printed brochures are also available at the center itself. As an added incentive, visitors who explore three or more participating venues and share their experiences on Instagram while tagging the KCCNY with #itstimeforkculture may qualify for a special gift from the Korean Cultural Center New York.
