Cosponsored by MMCA and SBS Foundation, Korea Artist Prize presents its 6th edition this year. Through its award and exhibition program, Korea Artist Prize seeks to identify and support talented artists who represent the vast potential and future vision of Korean contemporary art. The qualified artist should demonstrate experimental spirit and originality that give impetus to a new discourse in the domestic and global art scene.

Candidates for the "2017 Artist of the Year" include: Kelvin Kyungkun Park (b. 1978), Bek Hyunjin (b. 1972), Song Sanghee (b. 1970), and Sunny Kim (b. 1969). The four artists will present their new works at Korea Artist Prize 2017, which will be held September 13, 2017–February 18, 2018, at MMCA, Seoul. The winner of the prize will be selected based on a review of the exhibition and interviews conducted by the judges. The prize will continue to uphold its mission to support the creative endeavors of Korean artists and promote their works to a wider audience outside of the domestic region.
