Organized by the Busan Art Association, the festival offers a centralized venue for the first time since the pandemic, featuring a diverse array of local talent.

Visitors can also enjoy workshops and docent-led tours.

Educational lectures by prominent figures will provide artists with insights into topics such as online promotion strategies and copyright practices.
