A joint exhibition by two clubs of Korea University (KU) and Yonsei University (YU) is being held from March 24 to 28. The exhibition contains paintings from the club members of KU’s Seo Hwa Hwe and YU’s Hwa Woo Hwe. The exhibition’s location is divided into two, first three days at KU’s Hana Square exhibit room, and the last two days at YU Library’s first floor exhibition room.

Founded in 1961, Seo Hwa Hoe is KU’s calligraphy and Western painting club. Students who are interested in calligraphy and Western painting, usually the oil painting, are welcomed to join regardless of their artistic abilities. Hwa Woo Hoe is YU’s fine arts club which started in 1969 originally under the name, Toyo Hwa Ga Hoe—translated as Saturday painter’s club. Both Seo Hwa Hoe and Hwa Woo Hoe have long histories as university clubs in Korea.

The two clubs have been interacting with each other from the past and this is not the first interchange exhibition they have held together. “We hold Interchange Art Exhibition annually, during March every year,” said Jo Ji Un (’13, English Language and Literature). Members of both clubs also have a friendly get-together which truly satisfies the purpose for interchange.

Each painting at the exhibition has a colored tag below, with the name of the artist and the title. The colors, either blue or red, signify the school of the artist. This makes it handy for visitors to recognize the artists’ affiliation, also adding the fun of comparing the two schools’ work.
