FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 25, 2023 - The opening reception for the “A Trip Into the Seoul” exhibition takes place Friday, Feb. 3 at Studio 62.

“A Trip Into the Seoul” is the first exhibition presenting “Touch of Seoul,” an ongoing project by Omaha-based visual artist Thomas Halbur. The project aims to explore Halbur’s Korean heritage and culture through art and encourage collaboration in the Omaha creative community. The project is centered around a pair of custom-designed Nike sneakers influenced by Korean art that will eventually be raffled off to raise money for local non-profit organizations.

The exhibition is open from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. and is free to the public. Studio 62 is located at 2729 N 62nd St within BFF Omaha’s Petshop building in the Benson neighborhood.

Studio 62 is a DIY exhibition space available to rent on the First Friday of each month by artists seeking to exhibit and/or sell their work. The space also hosts occasional pop-up events. Studio 62 is managed by Aksarben Creative and has been in operation since 2020.

Halbur intends to exhibit the project in a variety of other locations throughout the spring and summer.
