Fund for Korean Art Abroad 2020
“The Soul of the East and the West”
The Ministry of Culture, Sports & Tourism of Korea and the Korea Arts Management Service (KAMS) engage in a broad range of international exchange programs designed to introduce Korean contemporary art to audiences worldwide. As a part of this effort, KAMS awards grants, through Fund for Korean Art Abroad (FKAA), to international art institutions that organize exhibitions and projects outside Korea. By offering financial support to international art institutions, KAMS provides opportunities for promising Korean artists to penetrate the international art market and strengthen their network within the global art community.
Oxford International Services(OIS) ART applies this opportunity for cultural and artistic exchange between Korea and Canada by Korean & Canadian artist collaboration exhibit.
