The exhibition will take place at KT&G Sangsangmadang Busan Gallery in Seomyeon, Busan, from January 23 to March 2. Following this, a touring exhibition will be held at the 3.15 Art Center in Changwon, Gyeongnam, from March 6 to 24. The selected outstanding works will be exhibited at KT&G Sangsangmadang Daechi Gallery from April 29 to May 30.
A representative of KT&G Sangsangmadang Busan stated, "Through ARTISTART, we will continue to introduce the innovative works of local prospective artists and develop it into a cultural arts platform that encompasses genres and generations," adding, "We will continue to provide generous support to ensure that young artists can actively engage in artistic activities in the future."
