Lunar New Year Benefit 2021

GYOPO invites you to attend our Lunar New Year benefit on Thursday, February 11. We will ring in the Year of the Ox with a virtual dinner party (for Los Angeles area deliveries) with friends and some of the most dynamic cultural producers of our Korean diasporic community in Los Angeles. Specially curated doshirak (도씨락) sets, featuring dinner by Baroo, bespoke cakes by Nünchi, an original ceramic cup by Nancy Kwon, and hand-crafted makgeolli by Yongha Brews, all of which will be elegantly wrapped in traditional Korean bojagi (보자기) by Nossi Bojagi, will be delivered to your homes in time for our 6pm Zoom program to hear from our featured artisans and to celebrate Lunar New Year.

All funds raised from our benefit will go directly towards GYOPO’s free public programming.

Tickets are $300 for a single dosirak, and $500 for a pair. (75% tax-deductible portion is $225 and $350, respectively.) Each purchaser will receive a donor acknowledgment letter for tax purposes following the event. Please register and place your order before the dosirak sell out! A private link to the virtual Lunar New Year benefit will be sent once you purchase your ticket.

We are grateful to our event sponsor Helen Park, Helen J Gallery and to our benefit committee: Anonymous, Susan Baik, Commonwealth and Council, Christine Y. Kim, Eric Kim, Ellie Lee, Gala Porras-Kim, Susan Song and David Tsay, Ann Soh Woods, Anicka Yi, John Yoon and Christopher Yin.
