77 artworks expressing children's perspectives on display

Bucheon City will host the "2026 Together Care Centers Joint Exhibition" from November 12 to 15 at the Bucheon Art Center Gallery, in collaboration with the Bucheon Together Care Centers Network.

Marking its 3rd anniversary this year, the exhibition is themed "Rights! Let's Play Together." It was designed to raise community awareness and understanding of children's rights and to highlight the importance of a care environment that respects children's participation and opinions.

A total of 364 elementary school students utilizing 12 local Together Care Centers will participate, showcasing 77 self-produced artworks.

The participating children interpreted the rights contained in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child—such as the right to play, the right to rest, and the right to be protected safely—through their own unique perspectives, expressing them in various forms including paintings, three-dimensional crafts, and collaborative artwork.

The opening ceremony will be held at 2:00 PM on November 12, and citizens can view the exhibition for free from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM daily throughout the exhibition period.

The city currently operates 12 Together Care Centers, striving to resolve gaps in after-school care for elementary students and ease child-rearing burdens. Moving forward, the city plans to provide safe and reliable care services for children and guardians by expanding diverse care programs and fostering a safe care environment.

Song Su-nam, Head of the Child Care Division at Bucheon City, stated, "We hope this exhibition serves as an opportunity for children to understand their rights and freely express their thoughts," adding, "We will continue to build a care environment that respects children's voices and allows them to grow safely."
