The popularity of art cafes has been on the rise in recent years, especially in highly competitive countries such as South Korea.


With about 15,000 new cafes opening each year and just as many closing down, the concept cafe has emerged as a way to create a difference and stand out in the market.


The combination of art and cafe has become a hot topic, with many cafes offering unique experiences for customers. For instance, a manga cafe is set to open in 2021 in Yeonam-dong, a popular area in Seoul.


The cafe will feature an open space with large windows and 22 easels where customers can draw as they wish while enjoying their coffee.


Customers can choose from a variety of art materials such as acrylic paints or oil sticks on canvases ranging from A4 to A3. They can also use anime characters, famous paintings, or pictures found on the internet as their sketches and paint them with their favorite colors.


The price for an A4 size canvas, including drinks, is 23,000 won (about 116 yuan), and guests can use as many art materials as they want within a two-hour time limit.


They can also take their finished work home with them. The cafe provides a unique experience that appeals to young people who love art and want to express their creativity in a relaxing atmosphere.


Yeonam-dong and the neighboring Hongdae area are known for their many cultural facilities, including art universities, theaters, galleries, and art supply stores.


As a neighborhood where young people who love art gather, there are also cafes where you can experience pottery. One of them is the JOOL pottery café, which has four pottery tables for kneading clay, where customers can enjoy making tableware under the guidance of an instructor. Guests can also draw on the pottery while drinking coffee and receive their fired pottery in a month.


The price for making pottery with the pottery turntable is 50,000 won, and the price for painting on existing pottery is 25,000 won. The cafe provides a "non-daily" experience in the city, attracting many couples and families who want to have a unique and enjoyable time together.


The importance of the cafe to the museum is also self-evident. It is not only a place to rest but also an irreplaceable experience that allows for the exchange of ideas.


The cafe allows the museum to reach new audiences and provides an open and comfortable space to spark conversation and reflect on ideas.


Art cafes have become increasingly popular in South Korea, offering unique experiences for customers and providing a comfortable space for the exchange of ideas.


The combination of art and cafe has proved to be a successful concept, attracting young people who love art and want to express their creativity in a relaxing atmosphere. As the cafe industry becomes more competitive, the concept cafe will continue to evolve, offering new and exciting experiences for customers.
