Welcome.
Beginning with the first session in 2008, and hosting the old Daegu Art Fair each year, the Galleries Association of Daegu has grown remarkably over the past 15 years. To grow as an international art fair in 2022, we have changed the name to ‘Diaf’ and based on the renewed program, we are seeking to take a leap forward towards global expansion. This year, we will be strengthening the promotion of Diaf through the social media such as YouTube and build an online platform to keep pace with the changes in the art market consistent with the changes of time.

Diaf is one of the three largest art fairs in Korea, and is highly favored by not only the Korean but also the collectors and foreign art officials overseas. Moving forward, we will do the best we can to lead the participation of many overseas galleries in effectively building a global art market. We believe that the global interest in K-Culture will also lead to K-Art in the near future. Daegu is a city of art with a deep cultural infrastructure and a keen taste for art. Like Basel, which has become an international city of art, Daegu will endeavor to be grow into a city recognized as a global art market. Using Diaf as a stepping stone for taking a leap forward, we are seeking to promote Daegu’s good image to the art officials, collectors, and art lovers in Korea and beyond.

We would like to offer our deepest gratitude to the city officials who have worked very hard to make Daif successful, the members of the Steering Committee, the newly participating members of the MZ Steering Committee, and the members of the Organizing Committee who have helped with the sponsorship. We also like to ask for your support to ensure that this will become a successful art fair based on the enthusiasm of many people.
