The "2025 Jeonju Mobile Art Market," which has featured exhibitions by eight local artists in sequence since last month, is a project designed to allow Jeonju citizens to encounter art naturally in everyday spaces. The initiative aims to create an environment where everyone can enjoy art without cultural exclusion.

In this solo exhibition, Kim Sumi presents works that capture the warmth and sentiment of life through the moon jar, a symbol of traditional Korean ceramics. The theme of the exhibition is "Soaked in the Moon Jar - Gift."

Following Kim Sumi's exhibition, the "2025 Jeonju Mobile Art Market Solo Exhibition" will feature an exhibition by artist Park Jeongae from June 10 to 22. The Jeonju Mobile Art Market is closed every Monday and will not operate during the hottest months (July and August).

Jo Junghoon, head of Jeonju City's Culture Policy Division, stated, "The Mobile Art Market is not just an exhibition, but an attempt to bring art into the public sphere of daily life." He added, "We will continue to strive to ensure that citizens can encounter art naturally in open urban spaces."
