2026 KAJAA Art Festival Exhibition

28  May, 2026

  This exhibition is centered on the works that passed the first screening at the art contest of the KAJAA: Korea Youth Art Festival in 2026.

  The selected pieces, chosen through a rigorous judging process, showcase high artistic quality and original interpretations. Exhibited in the spacious 1,000-square-meter Special Exhibition Hall at Maru Art Center, they highlight the passion and potential of these young artists at a glance.

Theme: 
What Remains Over Time

  

 The theme of the 2026 KAJAA: Korean Youth Art Festival is 'Things That Remain Over Time.' In a world that changes quickly and disappears easily, what is a piece that remains in your mind that is indelible and clear? 


  I support the process of interpreting the unchanging value from my own perspective even in the invisible passage of time and bringing that 'essence' into the world as a tool of art.
