This exhibition will feature works presented by current students and alumni artists from the Department of Ceramic Craft at the College of Design. It will also operate as an exhibition-sales art platform, allowing visitors to directly purchase artworks. In particular, the event is significant in that it simultaneously aims to expand sales channels for student works and to discover promising artists.

Visitors will be able to view and purchase a variety of ceramic works, including regular and discounted pieces. Sales proceeds will be shared between the artists and the university. Through this, Kookmin University aims to create a virtuous cycle ecosystem for artists' creative activities.

The exhibition space will make use of the Main Administration Building lobby and cafe area, allowing art to be experienced in daily life. In addition, docent programs and hands-on content will also be offered.

The docent program will be run by current graduate students and alumni of the Department of Ceramic Craft, who will be stationed in the exhibition hall to provide expert commentary on the works. They will explain the production process and the artistic meaning behind each piece from a professional perspective.

Furthermore, from the 16th to the 17th of next month, a "Transfer Cup Making" experience program will be held for children and families. The program will accommodate 16 participants per session, with five sessions each day, and participants will be able to take home their finished cups, packaged on site.

Kookmin University President Jung Seungryul stated, "This sales exhibition will provide valuable market experience for student and alumni artists and offer visitors the joy of owning art," adding, "Kookmin University will continue to take the lead in expanding its role as a platform that connects art and industry."

The Kookmin University Ceramic Craft Sales Exhibition has grown annually in scale and in the number of participating artists, establishing itself as a signature cultural event on campus. Notably, at last year's "2nd Sales Exhibition," alumna and singer Lee Hyori, who graduated from the Department of Theater and Film, visited to appreciate the works of her juniors.
