A message from Teodora Suciu, our Interest Group and Sign Up Chair:
I would personally want to thank all the teachers for their interest in
collaborating with SIWA
and for offering such a variety of classes and also for their dedica-
tion, patience and
understanding in fulfilling all the procedures in order to facilitate the
sign-up day.
It was such a busy morning and I did not have enough time to thank also to all of our lady
members who come to the sign-up day and join our classes. I hope that the classes offered
this time managed to satisfy their cultural and social needs in order to make our member’s
staying even more pleasant in Korea.
I would also like to thank to the SIWA team who did such an amazing job in organizing and
helping at the Sign-up day and who proved one more time their passion, dedication and
professionalism that characterize our association!!!
See you on the January Sign-up!!!
Teodora Suciu.

3. ExhibiƟon Venue : The Seoul Museum of
History
Guideline for the Submission of Works :
The theme of the exhibiƟon is the “Colors of
Seoul.”
In each work, the spirit of Seoul should be well
represented in terms of color and geographic
place. The work whose subject maƩer is outside
of Korea is not accepted. All venues of artworks
are welcome. It is required for the parƟcipants
to be current SIWA members and who take the
SIWA enrichment classes.
All parƟcipants are suggested to fill out the
arƟst registraƟon and submit the form and their
art works to their class instructors. Each instruc-
tor selects works which conform to the theme
at her/his own discreƟon and in turn submits
the artwork to the SIWA 50th
Anniversary Exhi-
biƟon CommiƩee.
Due to limited exhibiƟon space, parƟcipants are
strongly recommended to submit their best
work to be part of the show.
