Art Is #3: The International Exhibition

CICA Museum invites artists from around the world to submit work for 'Art Is #3', the third edition of their ongoing international exhibition series. The exhibition asks a deceptively simple question: what is art, and why do we make it?

Works that explore what art means — personally, culturally, philosophically — are welcome across three categories:

Photographs & 2D Digital Art — Selected works will be printed on A3 foam poster board and installed by CICA's curatorial team. If you prefer a different size or printing method, you can print and frame works yourself and ship them to the museum.

Video & Interactive Art — Projectors and DVD/DIVX players will be provided. Multiple single-channel works may be screened through a shared projector. If your work requires exclusive projector use or more than two screens, note this in your submission email (additional fees may apply).

Painting, Sculpture & Installation Art — Artists are responsible for shipping physical works to and from CICA Museum. Recommended maximum size is 1m on the longest side for 2D works, and 1 x 1 x 2 metres for installations. Wall-mounted works should not exceed 10kg.

How to apply:

Email up to 3 video links and/or up to 5 JPG images, along with your bio, to submission@cicamuseum.com. Use the subject line: *Submission: Art Is #3 – [Category] – [Artist's Name]*.

If selected, a participation fee of $78 USD (or 110,000 KRW) per piece applies to cover exhibition processing and maintenance costs.

Exhibition dates: 24 February – 14 March 2027 (subject to change).
