KT&G SangSang Madang Holds the 5th Artistart Exhibition 2025.01.16

 

 

KT&G SangSang Madang Busan is holding the 5th Artistart exhibition, featuring works from graduates of local art universities.

 

Artistart is a leading artist support program that KT&G SangSang Madang Busan has been running since 2021 to discover and nurture promising local emerging artists. The name Artistart combines art, artist, and start, symbolizing the program’s goal of supporting graduates of local art universities as they take their first steps in the art world.

 

This year’s exhibition was held at the KT&G SangSang Madang Busan Gallery from January 17 to February 16. Visitors had the opportunity to view over 100 works from aspiring artists nearing graduation.

 

KT&G SangSang Madang selects eight outstanding artists through expert evaluations, offering them a cash prize and the chance to participate in a tour at the KT&G SangSang Madang Daechi Gallery. Also, some of the displayed works will be sponsored for exhibition at the Ulsan International Art Fair and the Busan Illustration Fair, helping these emerging artists gain awareness in the broader art scene.

 

KT& G Exhibition Director Kim Jeong-yun stated, “We hope Artistart offers a meaningful opportunity for local art university graduates aspiring to become artists to connect with the public. We will continue contributing to the cultural and artistic community’s growth by offering practical support for budding artists.”

 

KT&G SangSang Madang serves as a multifaceted cultural and artistic space, supporting the creative activities of emerging artists while offering diverse cultural experiences to the public. Since the launch of its first location in Hongdae in 2007, the platform has expanded to five locations, including Nonsan, Chuncheon, Daechi, and Busan, contributing to the development of regional culture and the broadening of cultural and artistic engagement. KT&G SangSang Madang attracts around 3 million visitors annually and hosts over 3,000 cultural and artistic programs every year.
