Yeosung Misul Yeonguhoe (Women's Art Research Society) was a women's arts movement in Korea in the late 1980s and early 1990s. To strive towards better representation of women in the art world in South Korea, in 1986 the society split from Minjung art’s Minsok Misul Hyupeuihwe (‘People’s Art Cooperative’). Since then, they have produced a workable and scalable framework for future art collectives (many have since emerged in the 1990s from the sculpture department at Hongik University, from Project Space Yeongdeungpo, Gonggan Illi, and Art Jamsil. "These groups collaborate on exhibitions, talks, educational programming and residencies that promote gender equality by highlighting the works of emerging women artists or those who have taken an extended career break to raise children. More recently, in 2020 a younger generation of women artists founded Louise the Women, an artist group that promotes its broad range of members through artist-run projects, exhibitions and curatorial workshops."
