Jirisan(Mt.) Healing Art Farm
‘365 days of Art in Nature’ at Mount Jirisan, Ecological Art Park
Jirisan is a mountain in the southern region of South Korea. The name Jirisan means “the mountain of wise people”. Many scholars have visited over many years to develop their wisdom. Artists are inspired by the beautiful scenery and the marvelous energy found there. Nature and art have an ancient relationship and Jirisan is a treasure chest of nature.
Mount Jirisan Ecological Art Park is now inspiring an internationally growing interest in ecological art. A new art and ecology facility at Mount Jirisan, facilitates the co-existance of natural, ecology and the making of cultural art. Offering a centre where visiting artists and the community can focus exclusively on the surroundings, by cultivating the inspiration and artistic practice of creative people, we aim to drive the future of ecology based art.
Numerous art events will encourage ‘everyday creativity’ inspiring relationships with nature and a response to the natural environment, forging the way towards a new global base for ecology based art.
