Congratulatory Message I am honored to present the International Invitational Exhibition for the Korea Craft Designer Association in Hawaii at the Honolulu Down Art Center. In the 21st century, society, culture, and art has become a core language throughout the period, and culture and design creativity are the center of national competitiveness. So people now emphasize the importance of their own cultures in many different countries to try to foster a better understanding within the diversity of different cultures. Today, this exhibition is very meaningful because people can have a chance to look at various works and promote unity between domestic and foreign artists. Also, It introduces great artists to a larger audience in the age of globalization and is a big step in the development in the field of our Craft. About 135 national and international artists participated in this international exhibition to show people this Craft. This could be a great chance, not only for exchange between artists but also to look back on their own work. We hope this exhibition would give us a chance to share warmth and a place to celebrate, and bring sensitivity to many people. Lastly, I would like to thank the Members of the Craft Designer Association who have this passion and ask them to keep on with their creative activities. Congratulations again on opening the Invited International Exhibition for the Artists and I wish it will be a memorable event for everybody. Lee, Hyung Kyu Chairman, Korea Craft Designer Association
