Kookmin University (President Jeong Seung Ryul) is successfully hosting the “2026 3rd Kookmin University College of Art and Design Ceramic Art Sale,” a special event designed to popularize ceramic art and discover emerging artists, to enthusiastic response from visitors. The event is being held in the lobby on the first floor of the Kookmin University Main Administration Building until Sunday, May 17, and is open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Current students and alumni artists from the Department of Ceramic Arts in the College of Fine Arts are participating in this exhibition, showcasing a diverse range of works that combine artistic merit with creativity. Additionally, the event operates as an exhibition-and-sales art platform where visitors can purchase works directly, further serving the purpose of expanding sales channels for student works and discovering promising artists.
During the event, visitors can explore a diverse range of ceramic works, including both regular-priced and discounted pieces. Proceeds from sales are shared between the artists and the university. Through this initiative, Kookmin University aims to contribute to building a positive, virtuous cycle ecosystem that supports artists’ creative activities.
The exhibition space utilizes the lobby and café area of the Main Building, designed to allow visitors to naturally experience art as part of their daily lives, and features interactive content that has garnered significant interest from visitors.
In particular, the exhibition conveys the artist’s creative process and the meaning behind the works in an accessible yet in-depth manner from a professional’s perspective, helping visitors experience the beauty and practical value of ceramics more fully.
Additionally, a “Ceramic Mug Making” workshop for children and families will be held over two days, from Saturday, May 16, to Sunday, May 17. Participants can easily and enjoyably experience the charm of ceramic art by transferring their own drawings onto mugs using the transfer technique. The program accommodates 16 participants per session and runs five times a day. Since the finished mugs are packaged on-site and can be taken home immediately, it is expected to provide a special memory for families visiting the exhibition.
Kookmin University’s Ceramic Craft Sale has established itself as a major on-campus cultural event, expanding in scale and the number of participating artists each year. Notably, the 2nd sale held last year attracted significant attention when alumna Lee Hyo-ri, a singer and graduate of the Department of Theater and Film, visited to view the works of her juniors.
