3rd World Arte Festival brings 150 global artists to Jeongseon

The mountain village of Ararichon in Jeongseon, Gangwon County, will transform into a vibrant stage for international artistic exchange and healing programs from Aug. 1 to 3, as the World Arte Festival welcomes over 150 artists from 22 countries under the slogan, “Hear the World, Heal the World.” Now in its third year, the festival was founded by Company Deullim CEO Choi Youn-young, a musician, entrepreneur and cultural visionary who has dedicated her life to preserving and modernizing Korea’s rich folk heritage. A folk singer from Korea's southeastern Gyeongsang region, she won the grand prize in the folk song category at the KBS Korean Traditional Music Awards in 2015 and 2018. Music director Sun-jae Clemente Min told The Korea Times that the festival features exhibitions of visual and performing arts to foster a deeper sense of collaboration, with artists from Japan, Bangladesh, Colombia and Germany among the many invited. The festival invites about 150 artists each year, including musicians, painters, performers and creators, who collaborate across genres and mediums.
