A couple of months ago, a pop art artist by the name of Won kyung Cho reached out to me on Instagram asking if she could use some of Piri's pictures for an upcoming exhibition she was prepping for to raise funds to help homeless dogs in Korea. I jumped at the chance to help out in any way that I could and immediately replied back to let her know to use whichever and as many photos of Piri as she needed.
She sent us updates as she finished her pieces and we were excited for when her exhibition would finally open. Well, the time is here. From August 23 {opens 5 pm} to September, all three of Piri's pop art pieces, along with others, will be on sale to help raise money and awareness for homeless dogs. It'll be held at Pet Cafe Chicu Chicu {애견까페 치쿠치쿠 - 서울특별시 강남구 역삼동 681-17 대일빌딩 1층}.
We wish we could be in Korea to attend ourselves but since we can't, we let some friends and acquaintances we know in Korea about it and if they decided to swing by to send us a picture {and also donate or purchase a piece if they could for a good cause}. I thought to share on the blog as well to spread the word and to just share {because I like sharing anything Piri related!}.
If you or anyone you know is in Korea, please share this info! And here is a sneak peek at Piri's pop art pieces!

ReplyDeletei agree! i wish her success! there were actually also photo projects and such to raise awareness for street cats in korea. it was such great work and i think it opened people's eyes to the problem but also showed them how great these cats were. it's nice to see so many great things that people do.
