SaveArtSpace, in collaboration with Seongmin Ahn, and Cafe Royal Cultural Foundation, are proud to present AGAIN on billboards in New York City.

"Again" is a public mural to give visual message to the public assuring that we can begin "again" after being seriously damaged by this pandemic. It is hybrid-letter painting, which has cross-cultural elements within each design. For example, Korean letter was designed with western ornamentation, English letter was designed with Asian motifs such as clouds and dragon. I expanded this concept to international languages to reach out to diverse communities in New York.

During the week of October 4, 2021, SaveArtSpace will launch public art installations for each work on billboard ad spaces in Manhattan, Brooklyn & Queens. The public art will be on view for at least one month.

The Café Royal Cultural Foundation is delighted to announce our expansion to New York City.  Since 2007 the foundation, based in Hamburg, Germany, has supported and fostered talented artists of all kinds, enabling them to enhance their craft and realize their artistic vision. Café Royal Cultural Foundation NYC is now offering grants for artists in NYC.

The awards are established to support and encourage artists residing in New York City who are currently working in music, visual arts, performance and literature.

Café Royal Cultural Foundation offers a limited number of grants for artists working in these disciplines. Recipients will be determined by the foundation’s executive committee on the basis of artistic excellence, accomplishment to date, and the promise of future achievements in their medium.
