This month saw the second edition of ART OnO, a burgeoning art fair and dynamic platform that bridges emerging and established artists, galleries, and collectors alike. Set against a decades-long tradition of art fairs, ART OnO launched in 2024 to usher the Korean art market into the coming era by satisfying the needs of discerning art galleries, institutions, collectors and enthusiasts alike.
ART OnO’s second edition hosted galleries from more than 20 countries, many of which debuting in South Korea, alongside local stalwarts. Alongside the fair, a series of interactive onsite programs served as a forum for the exchange of ideas and exploration of topics germane to the contemporary art scene. As such, curated special exhibitions, talks and lectures unite artists, galleries and visitors as one symbiotic community. Planned activities also include exclusive tours of local galleries and museums, artist studio visits, and private viewings of distinguished collections. To immerse participants in the distinctive culture of Seoul, curated tours also guided visitors through Korean culture and cuisine.
ART OnO strives to attract prominent art collectors from around the world. VIP visitors to the fair immersed themselves in tailored artistic excursions in Seoul, including scheduled visits to local galleries, museums, artist studios and private collections, as well as various K-culture experiences. A diverse array of Seoul-based art intuitions and private collections opened their doors to visitors within the framework of extraordinary private tours and events.
