Hongdae Street Art Exhibition (홍대 거리 미술)

The area around Hongik University is famous for ‘Street Art.’ Some years ago, students from the highly-regarded College of Fine Arts at Hongik University began to decorate the streets, walls, and roads around the university. Their artistic efforts were soon joined by countless artists from across the country. Celebrating the creativity of the area’s talented youth, the ‘Street Art Exhibition Festival’ has become a major cultural and art event, ever since its inception in 1993. During the festival period, students of Hongik University and artists nationwide join forces to produce one amazing festival, treating visitors to an array of street art, participatory art, and a diversity of other performances. This vibrant festival is a comprehensive festival sure to dazzle visitors with the innovation and unique perspective of today’s young Korean artists.
