Damyang-gun Hosts Artist Art Market in Damju Art District

5-Day Event Starting on the 12th, Featuring 30 Artists and Over 300 Works, Prices Ranging from 100,000 to 2,000,000 Won

[Damyang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Jeonnam Damyang-gun announced on the 6th that from the 8th, a direct art market featuring young artists from various regions will be held at Damju Damidam Art District, a newly renovated cultural complex space.

Hosted by Wasabia Co., Ltd. and organized by Art Walk, the event is supported by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Arts Management Support Center Foundation, Artist Art Market, and Damyang-gun.

This event is the third installment following Art Walk I and II held at Dambit Art Warehouse and Haedong Culture and Arts Village, respectively. It aims to provide market entry opportunities for artists who previously had few chances to showcase their works and to allow art enthusiasts to enjoy and collect artworks without burden through a direct art market.

In particular, the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions have fewer opportunities for young artists to present their works compared to other areas. This market will not only exhibit and sell artworks but also invite various art-related personnel to create opportunities for young artists and art professionals to meet.

Additionally, the price of artworks for sale will be capped at 2 million KRW, with the main price range set between 100,000 and 500,000 KRW, providing a chance for the general public who have been interested in art but found purchasing works difficult due to high prices to more easily own artworks.

This exhibition will be divided into three exhibition spaces prepared by three curators: Moon Heeyoung, Kang Minhyung, and Choi Youngseo. Each curator selected 10 artists and will introduce them to the audience in their own way.

Lee Inseong, the exhibition director who planned the event, said, “Like the 30km/h speed zone that requires careful attention while driving, this exhibition was planned with the hope that visitors will slowly and attentively observe the artists and their works and become fans.”

The event will be held from the 8th to the 12th at Damju Damidam Art District - Yejoo Section (24-27 Damju 4-gil, Damyang-eup, Damyang-gun). For those unable to visit in person, artworks can be viewed and purchased online. The online platform will be available from the 6th.
