Share your art at Omma Poom

 

June 13-14, 2025

We are excited to invite talented Korean adoptees to participate in the grand opening of Omma Poom Park in Paju, Korea. This park will serve as a meaningful space dedicated to honoring the stories, experiences, and contributions of the Korean adoptee community, as well as recognizing their birth families. We would love to showcase your talent and art during this event and provide an opportunity to connect with both the adoptee and Korean communities.

Please join us in this historic celebration!

How to apply:

To be considered for the concert, or art display, please send the following by February 15 to ommapoom@meandkorea.org:

  • A brief introduction (including your connection to the adoptee community).
  • A video (for musicians) or images of your artwork (for visual artists) or information about your book (for authors).
