GIC Adios Day
December 21, 2013 | Gwangju, South Korea | Facebook Event Page | Gallery
The Gwangju International Center invited C&G to provide an art booth for Gwangju residents attending its event, Adios Day. The GIC is relocating, so they wanted to celebrate the last few days of the cherished building that served as a home to the GIC for many years. A flea market, live music, and pot luck were some of the other booths enjoyed at the event.
Even though the booth was smaller than the one at GIC Day, there was the same amount of participation. In the spirit of Christmas, several artists opted to gift their holiday-themed art that day. Once again, Gwangju impressed everybody with their impressive art.
All donated proceeds benefited the GIC Moving Fund.

Gwangju International Community Day
October 26, 2013 | Gwangju, South Korea | Facebook Event Page | Gallery
The Gwangju International Center (GIC) provides numerous services for international residents of Gwangju. It is an invaluable organization that brings the international community together. One big annual event is the Gwangju International Community Day. With booths representing dozens of countries, residents can get a taste of the world through food, performances, and cultural activities.
Create & Gift was honored to hold an interactive booth at the event. C&G brought the art supplies (e.g., paper, markers, watercolors, pastels). Gwangju residents brought the ideas. The bustling event brought faces from around the world, both young and old, to the booth to create and receive art. The display of available pieces changed every few minutes as people rushed in and out, leaving a new piece and taking one home.
"I can't paint" was heard a countless number of times, but people still created something and sometimes even surprised themselves.

Daein Market Foreigner's Art Showcase
October 11, 2013 | Gwangju, South Korea | Facebook Event Page | Gallery
Five expatriates in the Gwangju community showcased their art at a traditional market. Every other Friday night, the market transforms into a local artists' galore, selling handmade crafts, performing music and dances, and enjoying delicious treats.
Only two weeks after Create & Gift's inception, the concept was introduced to the community. With a wall dedicated to C&G in Adam Greenberg's gallery, community members were encouraged to take a piece of art home for free. Giftees expressed gratitude for the artwork and were inspired to create a piece of art themselves.
