The Korea Sculptors Association announced that the Seoul International Sculpture Festa will be held from the 15th to the 18th at COEX, 3rd floor, Hall D, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

The Seoul International Sculpture Festa is the largest sculpture festival and art fair in Korea, held annually since 2011. Since its inception, the event has developed into an exhibition specialized in 'sculptural art,' selecting artists through a call for submissions and screening process based on a set exhibition theme, providing opportunities for exhibition.

This year, works by over 300 domestic and international sculptors will be exhibited across approximately 140 booths. About 20 large-scale sculptures will also be featured. The event offers an opportunity to experience the diverse sculptural languages of the Korean sculpture scene as well as recent trends in Chinese sculpture.

Additionally, the 'Special Exhibition of Contemporary Chinese Sculpture,' featuring outstanding students from 12 major Chinese art universities, will attract attention. The E-Land Cultural Foundation will present exhibitions of works by three Chinese sculptors selected through a decade-long scholarship program, as well as a special exhibition of 17 renowned Chinese sculptors.

Kim Jeonghee, Chairperson of the Seoul International Sculpture Festa 2024 Organizing Committee, stated, "The Seoul International Sculpture Festa aims to reorganize the concept of sculptural art and create a platform for discourse in line with the changing times." She added, "This year as well, mid-career artists will lead the exhibition with their skills, while support for emerging artists will continue."
