Arario Gallery Seoul

Over the years, Arario Gallery Seoul has led the way in curating a harmonic fusion and variety of different art forms in Korea's art community through bold collaborations with international artistry that have never been attempted before. Also, the gallery takes the forefront in introducing artwork from today's more modern Korean artists having implemented an ongoing and structured system of exclusively-contracted artists. Currently, a wide range of artworks from artists native to India and Southeast Asia, who have yet to come to Korea despite having already experienced China's art community, are finally getting some spotlight in Korea. What's better is that with the help of continued promotional activity, the search and funding for up-and-coming talent in the respective regions is ongoing as well. Thanks to the gallery's efforts grounded in a system of exclusive artists displaying excellence; various collaborations with other galleries, both at home and abroad; introductions of varied artworks from numerous places around the world; and more, the Arario Gallery is set to play out its role as Asia's signature gallery that expands upon the possibilities for the future of Korea's art community while leading the market as well.

Since its first opening in Sogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu, in 2006, Arario Gallery Seoul has been leading the contemporary art scene based on its solid artist system and bold exhibition planning capabilities. In March 2014, it relocated near the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, and from April 2018 to November 2019, Arario Gallery Seoul Ryse Hotel, its second exhibition space in Seoul, opened near Hongik University. This effort aimed to inherit and develop the youthful and innovative spirit symbolized by the area. In 2022, Arario Gallery Seoul ended its Sogyeok-dong era and reopened with a new look in Wonseo-dong, Jongno-gu, in February 2023. The gallery aims to collaborate and support artists, striving for mutual growth through proactive exploration and consistent support. At the same time, it seeks to realize experimental and serious exhibition planning to continuously contribute to the advancement of the Korean art scene.
