Sejong City Provides '500,000 Won Per Person' Living Expenses Support to Cultural Artists

[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Sejong City will provide emergency living expenses of 500,000 KRW per person to local cultural artists.

The city announced on the 26th that it will support emergency living expenses for local cultural artists who are experiencing financial difficulties due to the recent impact of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), such as postponement or cancellation of performances and exhibitions, or suspension of instructor activities.

The support target is artists who have an address in Sejong as of the 19th of this month and whose artistic activity certification registration with the Korea Artists Welfare Foundation is valid. However, those who have received support through other projects such as small business owner or freelancer support are excluded from this support.

Artists who have not registered their artistic activity certification can receive support if they complete the application through the Korea Artists Welfare Foundation by the application period. Once the acquisition of the artistic activity certification is confirmed, emergency living expenses will be paid.

The application period is until the 15th of next month, and applications can be submitted through the Sejong City Cultural Foundation COVID-19 Response Counseling and Support Center.

The required application documents are the support application form, consent form for personal information use, and artistic activity certification confirmation, among others.

For more detailed information, inquiries can be made through the Sejong City Hall Culture and Arts Division or the Sejong City Cultural Foundation Arts Support Team.

For further details, please contact the Sejong City Hall Culture and Arts Division (☎ 044-300-3426) or the Sejong City Cultural Foundation Arts Support Team (☎ 044-850-0532).
