Frieze Seoul

Frieze Seoul 2026 will return to COEX in Gangnam, Seoul on September 2–5 2026, in partnership with Kiaf SEOUL. The fifth edition will bring together more than 125 galleries from 30 countries, with more than 70% of participants based across the Asia-Pacific region and over 50 exhibitors operating permanent spaces in Seoul.  

‍

Frieze Seoul 2026 will connect the international art world with the city’s artists, galleries and institutions. The fair reflects Seoul's position at the centre of Asia's most influential contemporary art scene, with Korean artists gaining significant international visibility in recent years and the Asia-Pacific art world looking increasingly to Korea.

‍

Bringing together galleries from across the world, the 2026 edition remains closely connected to the creative energy, rich art histories and cultural infrastructure that define Seoul today. The fair’s curatorial program comprises Frieze LIVE, the Frieze Seoul Artist Award, Frieze Film, Frieze Music and a talks series bringing together artists, curators and cultural voices from Korea and beyond. Frieze Seoul is supported by Global Lead Partner Deutsche Bank, continuing a shared commitment to artistic excellence and international exchange.

‍

Across five days, Frieze Seoul becomes a citywide cultural moment. From August 31 - September 3, the city's Neighborhood Nights will bring late-night gallery openings, special projects and cultural programming to a different Seoul district each evening, activating Euljiro, Hannam, Cheongdam and Samcheong across the week.
