Dear Friends,
It is my privilege and honor to welcome you to our 6th Annual Korean Cultural Expo. As the scope of our yearly presentation grows, so does our patronage and many supporters. We are fortunate to count as friends the government of Korea and its Embassy in Washington, the Governor of Maryland, and so many others from Virginia, Washington DC, the surrounding Korean American communities and US institutions.
We are a non-profit organization with a membership of curators, artists, and people who value deeply the heritage found in all things of cultural significance and share a passion to communicate beauty, in all its forms, to others. The most passionate of all are the many artists, both here and in Korea, that make up The Korean American Cultural Arts Foundation. It is they who give selflessly and tirelessly so that we may enjoy the fruits of their labor and the full range of the art and soul of Korea.
We often begin to know another land by the food its people enjoy. For our 6th annual event, we hope that you will come to enjoy Korea’s visual art, dance, music and customs in a context of the rituals and preparation associated with the food that sustains the Korean nation. One of the healthiest diets in the world has been developed through 5000 years of our cultural evolution. It’s our pleasure to share it with you. It is food for a happy heart.
Thank you for joining us in this celebration of Korea’s Culture.
Mrs. Tammy Lee Pantages
Chairwoman, Korean American Cultural Arts Foundation
Commissioner, Maryland Governor’s Commission on Asian Pacific American Affairs

한미문화예술재단 USA는 제6회 워싱턴 한미문화축전 ‘한국문화 엑스포 행사를 마련했습니다.
재단은 한국의 역사와 문화를 좀 더 체계적으로 미 주류 사회에 알리고 한인사회의 위상은 물론 2세들에게 우리의 정체성과 뿌리의식을 심어주고 싶습니다.
뿌리가 굳건할수록 주류사회 편입도 수월해지기 때문입니다. 미국은 대한민국 건국에 결정적인 기여를 했던 우방일 뿐 아니라 세계에서 가장 많은 동포가 거주하고 있는 나라입니다. 그래서 한국인의 문화 예술정신을 세계 정치의 중심인 워싱턴에서 재조명하는 것은 매우 중요한 의미가 있습니다.
미국인들에게 지난 60년간 경제기적을 일으킨 한국인들의 정신적인 원류를 소개함으로써 미래의 한미관계발전을 위한 더할 나위 없는 투자를 하기 위함입니다. 나아가 다민족, 다문화 시대에 사는 우리 동포 2세들에게 우리 문화에 대한 자긍심과 정체성을 높여주는 중요한 계기가 될 수도 있다는 것입니다.
또한, 우리 고유의 문화적인 전통에 바탕을 두어야만 세계의 문화적 자유시장경제 체계 내에서 우리의 전통 문화예술 역시 지속적인 경쟁력을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 믿기 때문입니다. 그런 면에서 한미문화예술 축전의 중요성은 아무리 강조해도 지나치지 않을 것입니다.
이제 한인 후세들에게는 우수한 한민족의 후예라는 자긍심을 고취함으로 말미암아, 우리 미주동포들에게 제2의 조국이랄 수 있는 이 땅에서 당당하게 주인의식을 갖도록 한다는 것은 아직은 미미하지만, 이민 1세들의 역사적 소명이라는 점에서 “한미문화예술재단 USA”가 흘린 오늘의 땀방울이 미주 한인 이민사에 길이 회자하기를 소원합니다.
한미문화예술재단 USA는 앞으로도 한국 역사와 문화를 알리는데 최대의 노력을 기울일 것입니다. 그리고 오늘에 있기까지 물심양면으로 수고와 협조하여주신 자원봉사자와 임원 그리고 회원과 후원자 여러분께 가슴 깊이 고개 숙여 감사드립니다. 감사합니다. 정말 감사합니다.

Dear Friends,
I want to take this opportunity to offer my warmest greetings to everyone attending the 6th Annual Korean Cultural Expo. I also want to thank the Korean American Cultural Arts Foundation for the invaluable contributions you make to enrich our lives through Korean culture and performing arts.
The Korean American Cultural Arts Foundation is dedicated to strengthening the bonds between Korean Americans and their fellow Americans. By hosting world class artists from Korea and sharing the best of Korean culture with us all, you are helping to promote the diversity that is our greatest strength.
I am proud that Tammy Pantages is actively serving as a member of the Governor’s Commission on Asian Pacific American Affairs. I am equally proud to support the tremendous work she and the Korean American Cultural Arts Foundation are doing to make the Korean Cultural Expo a great success.
Please accept my best wishes for a successful and enjoyable evening.
Sincerely,
Martin O’Malley

It is with great pleasure to congratulate on the 2011 Korean Cultural Expo held in Washington D.C., the capital city of the U.S.
I acknowledge President Tammy Lee and her colleagues at the Korea America Culture Arts Foundation, and the Korean-American community for making this great event possible.
It was six years ago that this cultural expo started. Over the years, it has been a place of unity for the Korean community in the U.S. to get together and let their American friends know more of Korean tradition and culture. I believe that this year’s event will also make the second and third generations of Korean-Americans boost their self esteem and enrich our traditional and cultural asset as well as contribute to strengthen friendship between our two countries.
In particular, this year has a very special event to introduce Korean food. I hope that the Korean-American community, like “Bibimbab,” whose flavor is enhanced by separately cooked ingredients, will be more united, prosperous, and valued as it always has been.
Hoping the expo will be a great success, I wish President Tammy Lee and the staff members of the Korea-America Culture Arts Foundation, and all the participants the best of luck and happiness.
Thank you.

Congratulations on the 2011 Korean Cultural Expo that will present treasured Korean culture in the U.S. I thank and extend my sincere respect to President Taemi Lee and the staffers of the Korea America Culture Arts Foundation USA for making great efforts to organize this festival.
The Korea America Culture Arts Foundation has made tremendous efforts to introduce Korea’s culture, arts, tradition and spirit to the general public of the U.S. The foundation has been at the forefront of bringing our culture to the international community as well as helping Korean-American children and youth, who have less opportunities to have first hand experiences with Korean culture, to learn and aware of their roots and identity. I express my deepest gratitude and compliments to the foundation for boosting pride and self-esteem in Korea in this far-away land.
The U.S. is more than just an ally to Korea. We have the closest and strongest diplomatic, security and economic ties with each other. As many as two million Korean people are now living in the U.S., making the largest overseas Korean community around the world. So, it’s like a brother country to Korea. Therefore, promoting mutual understanding through cultural exchanges is very important and valuable between our two countries and peoples. I hope that the 2011 Korean Cultural Expo will contribute to developing the relations between our two countries as well as bringing our culture closer to the general public of the U.S.
The Grand National Party will also do its part to make you more proud of being Korean. We will provide our best assistance for you to be more successful in the U.S. We will stand ready to support our proud Koreans in any way we can.
I wish you all the best and happiness.

Dear Friends,
I am pleased to welcome all the volunteers, supporters and members of the community to the 6th Annual Korean Cultural Expo hosted by the Korean American Cultural Arts Foundation.
Since 2005, the Korean American Cultural Arts Foundation has worked to create strong bonds between the Korean American and American communities by increasing awareness of Korean culture and by sharing treasured Korean art with the public.
As a Korean American and a supporter of the arts, I want to thank KACAF for all of your contributions to our local community. Your outstanding cultural expo brings talented artists, performers and cultural experts from abroad in an effort to benefit our community and promote a greater understanding of the Korean culture and traditions.
Thank you for your commitment to the Korean American community and I wish you a successful event.
Sincerely,
Mark L. Keam

It is a great pleasure to celebrate this meaningful occasion, the 6th Korean Culture Expo of Korean American Cultural Arts Foundation. Let me begin by extending my sincere gratitude to President Tammy Lee and staff members of Korean American Cultural Arts Foundation for their tireless efforts in preparing for this event.
Since 102 Korean immigrants arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1903, Korean Americans have traveled a long road to earn their reputation as one of the most prosperous ethnic groups in the United States. They have made crucial contributions to American prosperity and added their own exceptionality to America’s culture. The influence of Korean culture may be observed in many facets of the diverse and rich American culture.
The Korean Culture Expo has helped immeasurably to bridge our two cultures and has provided opportunities to bring us all together in a spirit of harmony and unity. Being open-minded towards other cultures is an essential value for us to pursue unity in diversity as globalized Koreans.
I believe that today’s event will serve as a good opportunity to enhance mutual understanding among diverse ethnic and cultural groups. It will also help Korean Americans reflect on the intrinsic value of the traditional Korean culture.
I truly hope that all the participants will enjoy today’s festival and I wish for the continued prosperity of the Korean-American Cultural Arts Foundation, the Korean American Association of Southern Maryland.
