Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture will hold the '2026 Seoul Connect Stage' from Feb 26 to Mar 13 to give graduating arts majors their first public performances. The program features 27 teams (169 participants) selected from nationwide applicants in theater, dance, and traditional arts (gugak) and provides up to 500,000 KRW in performance fees, rehearsal and presentation spaces, publicity, and feedback from experts and audience reviewers. Events include an opening ceremony at the Seoul Theater Creation Center and performances across venues: theater from Feb 29–Mar 13, dance on Mar 7–8 at Seoul Arts Education Center Eunpyeong, and traditional arts on Mar 6–7 at Seoul Arts Education Center Gangbuk. The initiative aims to help students transition into the arts field, offer audience-stage experience, and create networking opportunities with established artists and cultural figures.
