The large-scale special exhibition "Dreamability", held together by artists with developmental disabilities and established artists, ended with great success on the 27th.

The finale of this exhibition, which lasted for 10 days, was an awards ceremony for artists with developmental disabilities. The awards ceremony was held at the same time as the closing ceremony at the Seoul Arts Center at 5 pm on the same day.

The grand prize went to Song Sang-won for “Family Meeting”, the top prize went to Kim Ye-seul, and the excellent prize went to Kwon Han-sol.

Song said, “My painting shows animals and children meeting together to protect the earth from environmental destruction. They are talking about what They can do to protect the earth.” He explained the grand prize, ‘Family Meeting’.

The awards ceremony was attended by Kim Deok-ryong, president of the World Federation of Korean Commerce Industry Association, Maria Kim publisher of SayArt, Kim Kyung-hee president of the Korea Association of People with Developmental Disabilities, Artist Jeong Seong-sik and Kim In.

JUN SUMI, director of Vichae Art Museum, said, “Although the exhibition was short for 10 days, many people were moved and responded positively. while planning the exhibition, I was worried that the audience would not be able to empathize with the works of artists with developmental disabilities due to the difference in technique between them and established artists. But the result was successful. I gained a lot of confidence through this exhibition. I’ll continue to plan exhibitions that can compete only with the value of the work, with the goal of 'side by side with growth'.”

At the end of the event, the artists with developmental disabilities delivered wreaths to JUN SUMI, director and expressed their gratitude to the exhibition organizers.

All of the works of artists with developmental disabilities that were exhibited were sold out.
