Jeonju International Picture Book Fair: Main Event Ended, Original Art Through October 25

The fifth fair's main events ran Oct 2–4, but its picture-book original art exhibition remains free through Oct 25.

Why it matters now

The main fair's talks and activities ended October 4. What remains until October 25 is the free original-illustration exhibition at the Sori Arts Center of Jeollabuk-do—not the full festival programme.

The fifth fair's main events ran Oct 2–4, but its picture-book original art exhibition remains free through Oct 25.

Jeonju City's official listing gives the fifth International Picture Book Fair as Oct 2–25, 2026, 10:00–18:00, free at the Korea Sori Arts Center. The main conference, lectures and hands-on festivities took place Oct 2–4; the remaining attraction through Oct 25 is an exhibition of original picture-book artwork. Theme: 'Picturing the Memories.'

Visitors after Oct 20 should not expect the earlier lectures or workshops to still be running. Check for any late changes to exhibition access.
