When examining the peripheries of the Korean art market over the last ten years, the emergence and development of an alternative art market cannot be missed. In 2020 alone, fourteen projects were carried out under the Visual Artists Market scheme, which was organized by the Korean Arts Management System (KAMS) to tackle the difficulties facing creators, and to support alternative practices outside the mainstream art market. When taking into consideration independent, business-affiliated, and regional events supported by public funds, there are more than 20 small to medium-sized alternative art fairs held every year.
