was the second international caricature
ISCA minicon in Korea and about
100 people participated in the convention
as artists and staff. Accommodations
and meals were fully supported
by the Seoul Metropolitan Government.
The convention was like a festival.
It also had great performances
such as Taekwondo and tap dancing.

The Global Caricature Exhibition was
exhibited in Sejong Museum, which
is located in the center of Seoul. The
Exhibition was curated by artist Yonie
Woo, hosted by CDG corporation,
and exhibited about 213 artworks
from 16 different countries. Admission
tickets were also supported for all
the convention participants. A variety
of prizes were given for the winners
of the speed competition, likeness
competition, blind competition, and the
Seoul sketch tour competition during
the convention. The Seoul sketch tour
was a special event for the convention
that was fully supported by Seoul
Metropolitan Government. Artists went
to famous tourist spots in Seoul and
sketched the landscapes or people
who live and work there.

The “Asia Caricature Convention” was
such a great experience for caricature
artists for four nights and five days.

There were also special seminars during
the convention. Belgian artist Jan
Op De Beeck, Japanese artist Tomokazu
Tabata, American artist Marcus
Sakoda, and French artist Anthony
Geoffroy were invited as seminar
artists. They showed high-quality
digital and traditional caricatures to
the participants. Also many staff and
volunteers made the convention more
comfortable and enjoyable by helping
people as interpreters, workers, or
even just friends.
