Cultural Rooms enrich the 2013 Shoreline Arts Festival

Learn to write your name in Korean calligraphy

Returning this year to the Shoreline Arts Festival will be the popular Cultural rooms highlighting community groups from China, Korea, and the Arab culture. The Arts Festival will also play host to the 16th Philippine Festival and Parade.

The Puget Sound is popular for Arab and Middle Eastern Americans to settle, because of the high-tech job market, quality of life, good education, and acceptance of newcomers. The Arab world encompasses 22 countries, which include many faiths and cultures.  Come gain a more nuanced understanding of this influential culture though art.

In the Korean cultural room  you can learn the art of  “Jongi Jeopki” paper folding and learn to write your name in Korean calligraphy. Also, with the popularity of Psy and Gangnam Style, we are presenting a K-pop concert on Sunday in the Auditorium. Come learn where exactly Gangnam is and what it means to do it Gangnam Style.
