The Korea Ceramic Foundation will hold the "2023 Korea-China Ceramics Exhibition" to commemorate the 31st anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and China at the Gyeonggi Living Ceramic Art Museum in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province, until November 30.

This ceramics exhibition is a collaborative event hosted by Uijeongbu City, Uijeongbu Cultural Foundation, and the Embassy of China in Korea, and organized by the Korea-China Ceramics Exhibition Organizing Committee, the Korea International Cultural Exchange Association, and the Gyeonggi Ceramics Artists Association.

The event was planned to promote mutual friendship through the exchange of excellent ceramic culture and arts between the two countries and to provide a stepping stone for domestic ceramic artists to enter the Chinese market and globalize. This is the second time the exhibition is held, following last year.

This year's exhibition is held in a touring format, starting in September at the National Assembly Members' Office Building in Yeouido, then moving to the Uijeongbu Arts Center, and from October, it will be held on the entire second floor of the Gyeonggi Living Ceramic Art Museum, representing Korea's living ceramics.

The exhibition features a total of 105 ceramic artists from Korea and China, including 57 Korean artists and 48 Chinese artists, showcasing around 120 ceramic art pieces. Visitors can compare different working methods and expressions and appreciate beautiful works that embody the unique characteristics of both countries. Admission is free.

Choi Moon-hwan, CEO of the Korea Ceramic Foundation, stated, "We hope this exhibition will serve as an opportunity to further activate cultural exchange between the two countries," and emphasized, "We will continue to promote various international exchange projects to advance Korean ceramic art globally and become a central institution for ceramic culture worldwide."
