Jeonbuk is attracting attention as a center of cultural arts as it simultaneously hosts the International Calligraphy Festival and the first domestic cultural city expo in South Korea this autumn.

Starting from the 26th of this month, for a month, the 15th World Calligraphy Jeonbuk Biennale will be held at venues such as the Korea Sound Culture Center and Jeonbuk Art Gallery under the theme 'Resonance in Silence'. Since its establishment in 1997, this event, which has seen the participation of over 3,400 artists from 45 countries, is composed of 17 programs including 'Nature, People, Hangul Light Exhibition', 'K-Calligraphy Exhibition', and 'Digital Video Calligraphy Exhibition'. Particularly, the fusion works of young artists and new digital works are expected to demonstrate the potential for modernization and globalization while preserving the roots of traditional calligraphy.

On the same day until the 28th, the first Jeonbuk Cultural City Expo in the Jeonbuk region will take place at the Wansan Nature Resort in Wanju. Four legal cultural cities including Jeonju, Iksan, Wanju, and Gochang will participate in promoting halls, forums, experiences, and performances. The opening ceremony will feature a promotional video for the Jeonju Summer Olympics and a large-scale puzzle performance for residents and tourists to enjoy together. Wanju shares its achievements and identity under the brand of 'Community Cultural City', Iksan as 'Historical Cultural City', Gochang as 'Healing Cultural City', and Jeonju as 'Future Cultural City'.

This event, led by the Jeonbuk Cultural City Cooperation Network (JCCP), is expected to contribute to bridging the regional cultural gap and enhancing content competitiveness. This autumn, as the globalization of calligraphy and the solidarity of cultural cities unfold simultaneously, attention is drawn to the cultural resonance that Jeonbuk will create.
