One Pick Market (2025 작가미술장터 ONE PICK MARKET)

ONE PICK MARKET is an annual artist-run art market held in Sejong, one of the more important regional events in Korea's contemporary art primary market. Hosted in a converted industrial space in Jochiwon-eup, it gathers more than a hundred Korean visual artists who sell original works directly — paintings, drawings, photography, prints, sculpture — at price points designed for emerging collectors as well as casual buyers. Unlike a gallery fair, this is set up as a flat artist-meets-buyer environment with curatorial talks, studio-style booths, and a strong indie scene focus. For travelers genuinely interested in Korea's emerging visual art beyond Seoul's commercial galleries, it offers an unusually direct entry point.
