The exchange program will take place online from July to September. Three artists from Jeonju and Melbourne will be selected each, forming 1:1 matches. Participants will engage in orientation, five online seminars, and team meetings to collaboratively create content.
The completed works will be publicly exhibited in a participatory form at the '2025 Art Play Festival' in September.
Choi Rak-gi, CEO of the Jeonju Cultural Foundation, stated, "Through this exchange project, we aim to expand the boundaries of participatory art and present an international collaboration model experimenting with children-centered cultural arts education content."
