The Korean Cultural Center Los Angeles presents the 26th KCCLA juried contemporary art exhibition titled “Six Artists: Abstract Perspectives” running from Friday, May 21, through Friday, June 25, in the center’s art gallery.

In celebration of Asian-Pacific Cultural Heritage Month, the exhibition will present works by female artists Jisoo Chung, Yoory Jung, Chloe Jeongmyo Kim, Hyunkyung Lim, Cat Chiu Phillips and Julia Kim Smith. It includes more than 30 mixed media works, paintings, photo collages, videos and installation art.

The artists were selected by jurors Christine Y. Kim, curator of contemporary art for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and Alma Ruiz, senior fellow at the Center for Business and Management of the Arts at Claremont Graduate University. Ninety-seven works were submitted for evaluation. Since its debut in 1993, the annual juried exhibition has become one of the most popular events at KCCLA.

To provide a safe environment for visitors and staff, KCCLA has implemented new health and safety protocols and procedures based on guidelines by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. Social distancing will be enforced and reservations are required. People can also view the art and a virtual interview with the artists by visiting kccla.org.

The gallery is located at 5505 Wilshire Blvd. For information, visit kccla.org.
