Launched in 2001, the Korean International Ceramic Biennale has established itself as one of the major events in Korea that has transcended locality. This ceramic art festival in Gyeonggi Province of Korea is where foreign ceramic artists and world-famous ceramic works congregate. For more than 20 years, artists from over 80 countries have gathered biannually, contributing to the festival's goal of sharing the value of Korean ceramics. Through various initiatives that break down boundaries and expand ceramics in new directions, the Biennale has successfully drawn global attention and renown in various fields. While serving as a lodestone in bringing the central axis of world ceramics to Korea, the festival has also contributed to bolstering the recognition of ceramics as a branch of contemporary art.
