Join us in the Goldmark Cultural Center’s Outdoor Community Garden this Sunday at 12:00pm for a potluck lunch and welcome party for this year’s visiting international artist at the Goldmark Cultural Center, as we kick off our international artist residency for 2026!

During this lunch, we will be welcoming South Korean painter Sundoo Kim to the Goldmark artist community. Sundoo is well-known as an artist throughout Korea and the US, and his artwork has been exhibited internationally. He is a professor of visual arts at Chungang University in Seoul, and his work includes portraiture and Korean painting on traditional jangji paper.

Sundoo is the 2026 recipient of the Goldmark Cultural Center’s Anthony Okonofua International Artist Residency, and he will be a member of the Goldmark artist community from 11/1 to 11/22. Sundoo will be working out of Studio 146 in Building 13999 (near the Ruth Andres Gallery), in case you would like to stop by and check out his artwork once he is settled in.

Sundoo will be presenting a series of art workshops and artist talks during the course of his residency to share his medium and process with us. His artwork will also be featured in a solo exhibition in our Ruth Andres Gallery.

This potluck lunch will be everyone’s first chance to meet Sundoo and welcome him to the Goldmark artist community! Bring a dish for the potluck and your appetite! (Sundoo does not have any dietary restrictions)

We encourage all of the Korean-speaking artists in our community to join us if you can in making Sundoo feel at home during his first day in Dallas!

During the lunch, you can also enjoy chatting with your fellow Goldmark artists and catching up on all the latest with your own artwork and projects. Great opportunity to meet new Goldmark artists and reconnect with longtime members of our artist community.
