A new Paradigm of Experience
Living as a local creator in the beautiful and peaceful Gurye for a month!
Create your own content in Gurye, a place where fresh ideas and artistic inspirations bloom.
With Jirisan and Seomjin River in front and behind, it is a great place to enjoy nature, and if you spend a month leisurely in a quiet and small town filled with happiness,
you will naturally come up with ideas and inspirations that you never had before. Develop your talents as an artist or planner in a cozy and warm country house!
If you need a space to get inspiration for your artistic sensibility...?
If you want to plan a fun and creative program in an unfamiliar place...?
Display your talents right here!
A cozy and warm country house is prepared in a peaceful and quiet town at the foot of Jirisan.
There are cute props touched by the owner's hands everywhere, and the timid dachshund Jjamie, the abandoned dog Bbangie, and the abandoned cat Byeolie live together. You will be able to find things one by one by living a slow life here while busy with your daily life in the city.
I recommend this to people like you as a Gurye local creator.
First, I am an artist or preparing to be an artist and I need new content! This is an opportunity to discover content buried all over the town and recreate it as my own art.
Second, I am currently working as a planner or preparing to be a planner and want to actually do it! If you don't know where, how, or what to start, plan and execute projects that you can do in Gurye. If you start with small ideas, you will be able to plan and execute large and diverse projects before you know it!
Third, I am burnt out from what I am currently doing and want to take a break and experience something new! Take a break while healing yourself with the sounds of birds and the wind in nature. The animal friends in the accommodation will also soothe the participants' tired hearts.
If you take your time and rest like that, new ideas will spring up.

*Gurye Hwangjeon Village Story
It seems that the name Hwangdun was given because the land was fertile and the grains in the fields ripened well in the past,
and as the administrative districts were reorganized, the legal name was changed to Hwangjeon-ri by taking the character Hwang from Hwangdun and the character Jeon from Ujeon
However, it is actually more famous as a village at the entrance to Hwaeomsa Temple than as ‘Hwangjeon Village’, and thanks to that, it is a village that is always crowded. In the distant past, it was a place where people who wanted to become monks stayed and said goodbye to their families.
Now, large and small festivals are held every year depending on the season, such as the Gurye Mountain Suyu Flower Festival, Seomjin River Cherry Blossom Festival, and Jirisan Nam-ak Festival,
so it would be a fun experience to participate. As you discover the stories of the village one by one, you can create new content by adding your own ideas and talents, so visit nearby tourist attractions or develop your ideas through a community with the village residents!
-Artist or Planner Local Creator Creating Village Content You can participate in this project by choosing either the artist program or the planner program.
Option 1. Artist Local Creator
Any category related to art such as crafts, fine art, pottery, music, dance, or video is fine.
Stay in Gurye and create content with your own talents!
Watercolors or crafts that capture the scenery of Gurye, or documentaries related to Gurye, or music that captures the emotions you felt in Gurye, etc.
Explore the village, talk to the residents, and immerse yourself in the daily life of Gurye. Your inner inspiration will blossom and beautiful results will be born.
Option 2. Planner Local Creator
Plan projects that can be carried out in the village, such as village festivals, mural painting, local specialty flea markets, and Jirisan mountain climbing communities! You can work with the locals or collaborate with young people who are staying in Gurye as travelers.
If you select the jewel-like materials scattered everywhere and combine them with your ideas, you will get great results.
This is a chance to freely unfold the ideas you have only thought about but never put into practice! The results will follow as much as you put in the effort, right? It will be a great time for my talent and the region to coexist.

Accommodation Introduction
A simple and warm country house
Located between Jirisan and Seomjin River, this house is a renovated old country house with a main building where the owner lives, an annex where guests can stay, and a deck as a common space.
The common space is a large deck attached to the owner's studio, where you can listen to music, have a cup of tea (or a glass of wine?)
and spend your time leisurely.
In addition, there is a laundry room and a kitchen where you can cook, so please refer to this :)
Although it is an old house, the owners take great care of it, so you can live in a cozy space.
It is also fun to see the cute interiors here and there.
And there are three animals that are the mascots of this place. Dachshund Jeon-i, who is shy and doesn't approach people easily but likes people and wags his tail vigorously from a distance,
Bbang-i, who was brought in after doing volunteer work with abandoned dogs with singer Lee Hyo-ri,
and Byeol-i, the only cat(?) abandoned cat, are with him, so he won't be lonely :)
