About

The Sea Art Festival in Busan is considered a rare marine art festival in the world and a place where art is created with the sea of Busan. The festival comes to us for nearly a month every other year. As a place to seek coexistence between humans, nature, and the sea, the Sea Art Festival in Busan encompasses ways to creatively connect with marine ecology, a reflection on indiscriminate marine development and mining, and a future vision for an alternative maritime economy. The unchanging theme of the Sea Art Festival in Busan, which provides food for thought through different topics and concepts every time, is 'Let's understand the true value of the sea.' The Sea Art Festival in Busan embraces both the beauty of the sea and the fragility of the coast. If you want to participate in the creative process that weaves the close relationship between us and the sea into an intimate being, be sure to visit the festival, where you can experience the whole of the unique sea and marvelous art.
