The Korean Cultural Centre UK and the British Council are looking for artists of Korean origin working in the UK. The selected artists’ work will be exhibited at the Korean Cultural Centre in December 2008.

The aim of the exhibition is to showcase current British-based Korean talent in the visual arts and will be selected by a panel of judges organised by the Korean Cultural Centre and the British Council.

The Korean Cultural Centre will be responsible for insuring the works during exhibition and transit, organizing pick-up and redelivery of the work within the UK, installation and dismantling. A small catalogue will be produced on occasion of the exhibition. All artists will receive complimentary invitations to the opening reception as well as copies of the catalogue.

Application deadline: 1 August 2008.
