The Gangjin International Ceramic Exhibit

This summer Gangjin will invite between fourteen and twenty international ceramic artists to participate in an exhibit, a series of ceramic workshops and an optional tour.  The invitations will come after an adjudication process of your work.
Gangjin is simply looking for quality ceramic work and makes no limitations on type, style, glaze etc.  Prior exhibits have been diverse.
This is a link to the posting of an earlier exhibit on our website  Recently these exhibits are being displayed in the main gallery under glass. Use the back button there to return to this site.
Accepted artists are responsible for getting work to and from the exhibit.  This should not be a problem since artists will also be attending the accompanying workshop.  For prior exhibits, work accompanied the artists on their plane.  Usually just one piece is accepted.
Representatives from Gangjin will transport artists to Gangjin after arriving at the Incheon/Seoul airport.  Participants arrive at the international airport, stay overnight nearby and travel by bus to Gangjin the following morning.  It is a 5-8 hour ride depending on traffic.  Airfare is not provided by Gangjin.
Gangjin will provide accommodations, meals, transportation and a series of free workshops with exceptional Korean ceramic artists while in Gangjin.  The non-profit International Ceramic Artist's tour of South Korea follows our participation in Gangjin.  Gangjin along with Morning Earth Korea are subsidizing a portion of this tour.  If there is sufficient interest there is a possibility of extending that tour to Japan or China also at no profit.
The Exhibition Selection Committee in Gangjin, Korea will adjudicate this exhibit and workshop opportunity.

The dates of the exhibit are in late July or early August.  Contact us for this year's specific dates.  As stated, exhibiting artists are responsible for their work both to the exhibit and its return.  If you are on the tour, your work will be delivered to our hotel in Seoul prior to your home departure.
