Kiaf SEOUL Returns with Renewed Ambition
In addition to the traditional galleries section, this year’s leading Korean art fair will strengthen its curated sections and programmes under the theme of ‘Resonance’. Save to My Ocula
From 3 to 7 September 2025, Kiaf SEOUL returns to COEX in the heart of Seoul, spotlighting Korea’s dynamic art ecosystem while expanding its global reach. As one of Asia’s leading art fairs, it brings together a strong lineup of galleries from Korea and beyond, offering a rich platform for contemporary art.
This year’s edition unfolds under the theme of ‘Resonance’, reflecting on the quiet yet powerful growth of Korea’s art scene. Embracing the idea of mutual influence and shared momentum, Kiaf explores how artistic voices echo and evolve together. A range of curated sections and special programmes will further this dialogue and deepen engagement with artists, collectors, institutions, and the public.
Over the past two decades, Kiaf has played a key role in shaping Korea’s art market and supporting both established and emerging artists. Taking place alongside Frieze Seoul, the fair continues to strengthen Seoul’s standing as a global art destination while fostering meaningful international connections.
