The Gallery is a professional network for spouses living in Seoul with their working partner who wishes to maintain their professional identity. At The Gallery you will find inspiratonal talks, a network of clever peers and an oppotunity to get to know Korea from a business angle although you are currently not working.

Many expats living in Korea has brought their family and very often the constellation is that the husband is working, and that the following family consists of wives and children.

Being an expat spouse is a special life. It is a very privileged life, but it can also be a challenge. For most, the transition entails a temporarily goodbye to their professional life replaced by the job of settling the family and taking care of their kids. This is a privilege but also a loss. Many may wish to work but a mixture of personal life and country legislations can make it difficult or impossible for them to work.

Hence in Seoul there is a large group of competent spouses, primarily women, who are currently staying at home but has interesting careers on stand-by. This means there is a vast amount of valuable experience that are currently not being put into play. Many may not even be aware of each other’s corporate and professional experience.

The Gallery aims to change that.

We meet once a month in order to get inspired by expert presentations and each other. The presentations can focus on a Korean context being an opportunity to better get to know the country we live in. But can also be more general professional topics that can enhance your competencies returning to the job market.

The Gallery is a nonprofit project.
