Who We Are
Our Mission
Our mission is to build and strengthen connections between the people of West Michigan and South Korea. Since 2014, we've brought South Korean musicians and performers to thousands across the state, regularly host community events, immersive language and culinary programs, and helped establish permanent Korean art installations in Grand Rapids.
Event Recap
The Korean Traditional Music Orchestra of the Blind
We were thrilled to co-present, along with Grand Rapids Sister Cities International (GRSCI) and Calvin University: KSA, an incredible evening with the Korean Traditional Music Orchestra of the Blind (KTMOB). We witnessed mastery of traditional Korean instruments like the Gayageum, Geomungo, and Piri. What an unforgettable performance, filled with rich history, powerful emotion, and even a
"K-Pop Demon Hunters" song for the encore!​
A huge thank you to our West Michigan community for showing up, and to all the volunteers that helped the evening run so smoothly.

KCWM's K-Culture Club
K-Culture club is a new monthly gathering where participants watch Korean media, share written reflections, and engage in level-based group discussions led by Korean volunteers who practice English, while participants learn about Korean culture and language expressions. The club is free but accepts donations for future cultural events.
