About membership, activities and finding an artist or expert.
How do I join as an artist member?+
작가회원은 연회비 50만원이며 협회 자체 주관 강의 30% 할인 혜택이 있습니다. 공동 운영·위탁·외부강사 강의는 프로그램별로 별도 안내합니다. 회원 안내에서 작가회원을 선택해 가입 신청서를 제출하고, 이메일 인증과 회비 확인을 거쳐 가입 안내를 받습니다.
Is a directorship a membership tier?+
A director is an officer contributing to KAAA planning and operations. Paying dues does not grant appointment; the role and appointment procedure are handled separately.
What is an AI creator?+
At KAAA, an AI creator is someone who explores ideas with AI, adds their own thinking and makes better work. You develop your voice and skills through discovering ideas, making things, choosing and refining. You don’t need to be accomplished from day one. One small creation is a good place to start.
Is AI creation only for people who write?+
No. You can start with writing, images, video, music, media art, a project proposal or teaching materials. What matters is adding your thinking and judgement to AI’s suggestions and developing the result. You can join KAAA without previous work or exhibition experience. Membership and a public creator profile are separate processes.
What can I do after joining LINK?+
Enter your real name, email, phone number and location, agree to the privacy terms, then verify your email. Once verified, you’ll see an invitation to the members’ group chat on screen and receive it by email. Use your real name / creator name when joining. The group shares course and event announcements, opportunities, AI tools and members’ experiences. Your phone number helps us identify your membership; your location helps us share relevant local activities. Creator name and interests are optional.
When can I join?+
LINK and ACT accept applications year-round. LINK members receive community access after email verification. ACT applicants verify their email and pay the annual fee using the bank details on the application page or in the email. After checking the payment and application, KAAA provides membership and private group chat instructions. Individual courses, exhibitions and projects have their own schedules and eligibility requirements.
How is ACT different from LINK?+
LINK는 무료 커뮤니티 회원이며 전체 회원 단톡방에서 소식과 경험을 나눕니다. ACT는 연회비 10만원의 정회원이며, 전체 회원 단톡방에 더해 정회원 전용 단톡방, 별도로 제공하는 정회원 정보, 협회 자체 주관 강의 10% 할인 혜택을 제공합니다. 공동 운영·위탁·외부강사 강의는 할인 여부와 최종 수강료를 프로그램별로 안내합니다. 작품·활동 기록과 희망자의 공개 프로필 준비도 이어갈 수 있으며, 프로필 공개는 자료 준비와 별도 검토를 거칩니다. 개별 활동은 대상·일정·선정·비용 조건에 따라 참여합니다. 승인된 ACT·작가회원은 공통 자료에 더해 만화·완성 예시·응용 활동을 담은 샘플북 12종도 이용 기간에 받을 수 있습니다.
Why learn AI now?+
Learning AI is about more than operating a tool. It gives you more ways to express the experience, ideas, work and expertise you already have—through images, video, teaching, content and projects—and to respond to new collaborations.
What makes KAAA different from other AI courses or communities?+
We aim to connect learning with creating, sharing, documenting and meeting people. Exhibition isn’t everyone’s goal. You can choose a path that suits you: a first piece, portfolio, institutional project, teaching, professional practice or community exchange.
What is the difference between AI-assisted art and ABOUT AI work?+
AI-assisted work uses AI during its creation. ABOUT AI work explores questions that AI raises about life and society. The tool you use and the subject you explore are different dimensions; one work can belong to both.
Can I invite an AI creator or artist to an exhibition or event?+
Yes. Tell us about your exhibition, media art programme, talk, workshop, performance or institutional project. We can discuss introductions to full members whose public profiles and areas of practice suit your needs.
How do I enquire about an AI media artist?+
Share the event name, dates, venue, desired artwork or programme, audience and budget range if available. We’ll review the brief and members’ public areas of practice to consider suitable candidates.
Can beginners join KAAA LINK or ACT?+
Yes. LINK is free community membership for news and shared chat access. ACT is full membership at KRW 100,000 a year, with pathways to exhibitions, projects, teaching and Artist Record preparation. Neither requires a portfolio or previous experience just to get started.
Will my full-member profile be published automatically?+
No. Public profiles are published only for members who request one, prepare their work samples and profile materials, and complete the association’s review.
Can you help me prepare exhibition records or artist activity certification materials?+
We can help you organise exhibition documentation, artwork and event photos, press coverage and Artist Records, and check for missing evidence. Final approval for artist activity certification and the Artist Pass rests with the relevant institutions under their own criteria.
