2026 Jeoji Artists Village Art Festival (ART & JEOJI) Dates, Free Workshops & Tour Sign-up – Before Visiting with Kids

In an artists’ village beside the Gotjawal forest,
exhibitions and workshops run for ten days 🎨

The Jeoji Artists Village Art Festival
ART & JEOJI 2026 (저지문화예술인마을 예술제)
runs October 16 (Fri) – 25 (Sun)
around Jeoji Artists Village in Jeju-si.

The art workshops and atelier tour
with the resident artists
are all free (materials included).

I rechecked the Jeju provincial press release (October 2),
its attached leaflet and the online sign-up form
on October 10 and summarized them here.

🎪 What Kind of Festival Is It?

It’s an art festival prepared together
by the artists who live in the village.

There are a joint exhibition, individual gallery shows,
a galot fashion show, art workshops
and a village walk that visits
the artists’ studios.

At the Jeoji Cultural District Community Culture Center,
13 resident artists hold the joint exhibition
’Moments That Lasted’ until the 31st.

The leaflet lists exhibitions
at 16 village galleries and museums,
such as ‘Colorful Feelings’ at the Jeju Museum of Contemporary Art,
‘Wildflowers’ at Banglimwon,
and ‘Kim Tschang-yeul, Painter of Paris’
at the Kim Tschang-yeul Art Museum.

📅 What Happens on Which Day?

These are the dated programs
from the leaflet’s schedule.

The fashion show time differs slightly by source.
The press release says the opening is at 15:00
and the fashion show at 16:00,
while the leaflet lists both together at 15:00.
After the show, participants share
traditional Jeju food together.

Cinema Night shows the documentary
’Kim Tschang-yeul, Painter of Paris’ (41 min) first,
then the animated film ‘Loving Vincent’ (95 min).

In the schedule, the gallery exhibition row
is empty only on the 19th (Mon).

🖌️ Which Free Art Workshops Are There?

These are creative arts workshops
led by the resident artists.
All run 14:00–16:00, two hours each.

The 18th is at the Hangol Calligraphy Museum,
and the 20th to the 24th are on the 2nd floor of the Community Culture Center.

In the acrylic workshop you make a canvas piece
to keep, and in stone-craft frottage
you lay hanji paper on a stone slab
carved with letters or patterns
and rub it with crayon or charcoal
to lift the pattern.

📝 How Do I Sign Up?

Workshops and the tour need advance sign-up.
Apply through the online form in the press release
or the QR code in the leaflet.

On October 15, the form showed
Jeju-language calligraphy on the 18th, the tour on the 21st, and persimmon dyeing on the 24th as full (first come, first served).
If you apply now, you go on a waiting list
and are contacted in turn when someone cancels.

The form warns that choosing more than two
may mean you can’t attend any of them.
You need to get to each venue yourself,
and they ask you to let them know in advance if you can’t come.
No-shows without notice
may be limited from later programs.

🚗 Getting There & Parking

For navigation, enter the meeting point,
Jeoji Cultural District Community Culture Center
(906-14 Yonggeum-ro, Hallim-eup, Jeju-si / 제주시 한림읍 용금로 906-14).

The leaflet’s village map
marks several parking lots, bus stops
and restrooms.
However, there is no information on festival parking
or bus routes.

👨‍👩‍👧 If You’re Visiting with Kids

The sign-up form says ‘anyone can join’.
But its age field starts from teens,
so it’s best to ask in advance
whether preschoolers or younger primary kids can take part.

The weekend workshops are just two:
Jeju-language calligraphy on the 18th (Sun)
and persimmon dyeing on the 24th (Sat),
and both are already full.

The atelier tour runs 10:00–14:30
and goes around the village on foot.
They ask that only people who can stay
until the end without leaving sign up,
so choose with your child’s stamina in mind.

The outdoor exhibition at the Yoo Dongryong Museum,
‘Jeju Pavilion Project: Oreums of One Land’,
is listed as free in the leaflet.
