What is the Seoul Sculpture Festival 2026?
The 3rd Seoul Sculpture Festival (제3회 서울조각페스티벌) is an outdoor sculpture event held across two public spaces in Seoul: Yeollin Songhyeon Green Plaza (열린송현녹지광장) and Ttukseom Hangang Park (뚝섬한강공원).
Official notices list two distinct timeframes for the event. The festival week programs—which included the opening ceremony, busking, outdoor film screenings, and a sculpture playground—ran from August 29 to September 4, 2026, and have ended. The outdoor sculpture exhibitions continue on-site through November 30, 2026.
At Yeollin Songhyeon Green Plaza, the Art Director Invitational Exhibition is titled 《흐름과 기억, 존재의 서사》 (Flow and Memory, Narrative of Existence), presenting works by sculptors of different generations exploring time, memory, and the relationship between humans and nature. Rather than following a fixed indoor museum route, the exhibition allows visitors to view the sculptures alongside the open landscape. At Ttukseom Hangang Park, a separate sculpture village titled 《바람이 깃든 마을》 (Village Dwelled by the Wind) is set up.
