Greeting from G-round ART FAIR

The ‘GROUND’ in G-round ART FAIR stands for the most essential site where art begins — a foundation upon which artists, collectors, and the public come together to create new value. Segye Ilbo has long believed that art should not remain confined to a small circle of experts and the market, but should flow naturally into the lives of many more people.

At G-round ART FAIR, artists present their works — records of life condensed from countless reflections, passion, time, and philosophy — at the closest possible distance. Visitors discover the true value held within them, and collectors have the special experience of encountering the artists who will lead the art history of tomorrow. We hope this space goes beyond the mere transaction of artworks, becoming a place where people connect with one another and where art enriches our lives through genuine encounters.

Segye Ilbo has long organized the Segye Art Exhibition in commemoration of its founding, inviting artists who have contributed to the development of Korean art and introducing their artistic worlds. This year, we are delighted to carry on and expand that tradition, creating through G-round ART FAIR an even more meaningful stage for the advancement of Korean art and the discovery of talented artists.

Today, culture and the arts are vital assets that measure a nation's dignity and competitiveness. With a sense of responsibility that the press must create social value, Segye Ilbo has steadfastly supported the healthy growth of the Korean art market and the sustainable careers of emerging and mid-career artists.

We ask for your continued interest and support so that G-round ART FAIR may establish itself as a new standard for the Korean art market and grow into a cultural platform in dialogue with the world beyond Korea. To everyone who has joined us for this edition of G-round ART FAIR, I offer my heartfelt thanks.
