Connecting Artists and Companies... 2026 Art Job Fair

[Financial News] The "2026 Art Job Fair" will be held at the Hongik University Daehakro Art Center in Mapo District, Seoul, on the 9th and 10th of next month.

Side events such as personal color analysis, collaboration-type tests, and profile photo sessions will also be offered.
