Arts Council Korea (ARKO) invites artists, producers, and engineers aged 39 or under from around the world to APE CAMP 2026. The program aims to nurture creative talent and activate sustainable networks for the convergence of art and technology. Through the camp, participants are supported in developing new ideas and building global networks.

Selected participants, referred to as ‘Campers’,  will gather in Seoul metropolitan area and be randomly assigned to 24 teams. Each team will consist of artists, producers, and engineers from diverse countries and fields. Team members will brainstorm innovative ideas, develop collaborative concepts into feasible projects, and ultimately pitch their outcomes to fellow participants.

We look forward to welcoming 120 creative practitioners from around the world. The APE CAMP 2025 Open Call received applications from more than 40 countries. Campers selected through the APE CAMP 2026 Open Call will have the opportunity to meet leading global experts working across art and technology.
