Meet the community groups @ Community Booth

They may be just next door to you, but do you know your neighbors? These local groups and clubs spread love, art and passion throughout the Gwangju community. Learn about their roles, activities and stories, and get involved and support them! Or register to set up a booth yourself and get the word out about your own group or project.

“Your waste can be another’s treasure” @ Flea Market

Open up your closets and clean out the storage: your old unwanted stuff can be someone else’s treasure. Have fun selling your items in your own booth while visitors bargain over them. Flea Market will start from 11 am onwards. Remember, hot items sell fast, so be sure to get there early for the best bargains!

End of registration: October 20

*GIC will also run its own flea market booth. If you have items to sell, but don’t have a booth, please support the GIC by donating those items to us. Funds raised will benefit the center.   Inquiry: Park Jiwon (062-226-2733, gic@gic.or.kr)
