In celebration of D-100 days until the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the Korean Cultural Center New York will be hosting a one-of-a-kind exhibition this coming November. In preparation, we invite all visual artists, creators, and designers to participate in a great opportunity to showcase one’s unique creativity inspired by the attributes of the Pyeongchang Olympics. 

With an official slogan of “Passion. Connected.” the global event aims to exude the spirit of harmony, people, passion, friendship, possibility, fairness, peace, advancement, movement, play, power, balance, joy, drama, challenge, and sports among other key elements. Following this idea, KCCNY asks for inspired participants to create their own interpretations of “Passion. Connected.” by decorating and designing a helmet! After review, KCCNY will be choosing 100 notable designs to showcase during the exhibition to represent the global celebration.

In order to participate, please review all of the following requirements for the “Passion. Connected.” exhibition, and we look forward to sharing the spirit and excitement for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics with the great city of New York!
