Describing the nature of the sand art event.

The sand art performances will explore three distinct themes: 'Protect the Earth,' 'Beautiful Country,' and 'K-pop.' This visual storytelling uses light and sand to bring images to life, conveying dreams and joyful narratives. Following the performances, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on 'Sand Art Experience.' Using a light box and fine sand, participants can create their own drawings with guidance from instructors, making it accessible even for those who don't consider themselves artists.

Participation in the sand art experience is open to anyone aged five and above. Registration begins on June 15 at 10 a.m. via the Busan Democracy Park website (demopark.or.kr). Each participant receives one ticket, and while the performances are free to watch from the audience seats, the hands-on experience requires registration and participation from the stage.

Sand art performances include three themes: 'Protect the Earth,' 'Beautiful Country,' and 'K-pop.'
