SONGEUN Art and Cultural Foundation

SONGEUN is an innovative and exciting exhibition venue in the heart of the vibrant Chung Dam District of southern Seoul renowned for its galleries, fashion houses, restaurants and culture. Established by SONGEUN Art and Cultural Foundation in 2010, this newly opened space is dedicated to promoting contemporary art through significant exhibitions and various related programs. This free standing building houses the non-commercial exhibition spaces on the second, third and fourth levels, with a cafe/restaurant on the ground level and S.Atrium a multi-functional event hall on the B2 level. Following the wishes and spirit of the founder Sung-Yeon Yoo, the foundation has been supporting young up and coming Korean artists since its inception in 1989 through the SONGEUN ArtCube and the annual SONGEUN ArtAward (since 2001).

The recent expansion into this new building specifically designed for art exhibitions and events reflects the current chairman and son of the founder, Sang-Duck Yoo’s steadfast commitment to art and culture and provides the foundation with the necessary infrastructure to elevate and expand its ability to give artists greater opportunities to show their work and to provide the public more access to the contemporary art scene. In this spirit, all exhibitions will be open to the public free of charge.
