Since the inauguration on May 7, 2003 in downtown Seoul of Shinmoonro, Artforum Newgate has introduced many talented artists with exhibitions, art forums, and lectures.

Via our "Discover Young Artists" program, we discovered and consistently supported 6 artists. Also the artists between the age 35 and 40 were given the exposure to the art world. By the Artforum program which continued for 2 years, in depth understanding of the artists and their works were made possible.

We also participated for 3 consecutive years in KIAF (an international art fair) in COEX, Seoul, Korea, and we made successful sales at overseas auctions for contemporary artworks.  From 2007 we will participate in art expos and artfairs overseas to promote these talented artists. Some of these artists are already making progress in the art community of Korea and are being recognized in and outside of the country.

In the autumn of 2005, we opened a second exhibition hall at Daehakro, close to exit 4 of Hyehwa station, subway no. 4, the Newgate_East. The Newgate_East will develop into a place for further popularization of art. With your steady support and love for art, we at the Artforum Newgate and the Newgate_East will do our best to discover young and talented artists and support them as promised.
