Category: The Showcase / International Mixed Media & Interdisciplinary Exhibition

  • The Opportunity: The CICA Museum (Czong Institute for Contemporary Art) in South Korea has opened its global call for the international exhibition “Art Is #3”. This specialized museum is renowned for fostering experimental, cutting-edge contemporary dialogues, and this specific edition invites international creators to submit pieces that explore the concept of what art means in the modern era.

  • The "Lighthouse" Advantage: CICA is an exceptional institutional destination for mixed-media and interdisciplinary artists. The exhibition is explicitly open to artists worldwide working in all media—including multi-layered collages, installations, 3D elements, photography, and hybrid concepts. It gives creators a heavy-duty, internationally recognized line on their CV while placing physical and conceptual mixed-media work directly into the vibrant South Korean contemporary art scene.

  • The Benefit: Selection introduces your practice into an elite network of global artists and curators, accompanied by physical gallery display, digital archiving, and inclusion in the international print/catalogue release.

  • Maker Level: Open to all contemporary artists worldwide.

  • Deadline: Monday 20th July 2026.
