Photos by Kira Paterson. Some of Kim’s work is inspired by her rural home that she has grown to love since moving from a big city in Korea. Most of her paintings are based on animals, landscapes or photos she’s taken on her travels.
The September exhibit at the Manawaka gallery in ArtsForward is officially open for the month. Miyoung Kim, of Neepawa, normally paints for friends and family, but has her art on public display for the first time.
Kim was formally trained in ceramics, but she has been working with acrylic paints more to challenge herself. She does have two ceramic vases on display at the exhibit this month, as well. ArtsForward is hosting an opening reception where people can meet Miyoung Kim and hear more about the pieces from the artist herself. The opening is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 7 at 7 pm.

Last week, Neepawa welcomed some very important international delegates. From Aug. 27 to Sept. 3, a Mexican delegation from the City of Salvatierra, Guanajuato, came to Manitoba on a trade mission sponsored by HyLife and their partner Mercator Inc. The World Trade Centre (WTC) in Winnipeg hosted the visitors, who also came to Neepawa for a few days during their mission.
