Seoul’s Art Week Grows Into a Full Month of Global Exhibitions

Frieze Seoul and Kiaf Seoul continue to dominate Seoul’s art calendar, expanding openings and events beyond the Coex center as galleries proliferate around the city. Kiaf will host about 175 galleries and Frieze Seoul more than 130 from 30 countries, building on last year’s roughly 70,000 Frieze visitors and 82,000 Kiaf visitors. Insiders say this signals a shift from a single fair to a month‑long, city‑wide art season with happenings spreading through neighborhoods and beyond the weekend.
