Many inventions tell how hard people have tried. People's creative will has created the history of beauty with infinite energy. The beauty created by people's finger tips is called industrial art. Cheoungu held Cheoungju International Biennale For Industrial Arts for the first time in 1999. Under the theme, "Hands of Harmony", it showed many artistic works. Since long ago, the cities around Cheoungju produced a lot of natural iron which made Cheoungju possible to develop iron industrial art in early days. The craft of Cheoungju iron art was proved long time ago through several fine works. However, the invention of Jikji is considered the highlight of the iron industrial art. It helped Cheoungju to grow as a industrial art city internationally today. The 2nd Cheoungju International Biennale for Industrial Art is being held from Oct. 5th under the theme, "breath of nature".
