Participating as organizing institutions are the Korea Culture and Tourism Institute, Korea Artists Welfare Foundation, Arts Management Support Center, Korea Regional Cultural Foundation Association, Korea Arts Council, Korea Arts & Culture Education Service, and Korea National University of Arts. Together with artists in the field, they will discuss the value and welfare of arts in the COVID-19 era, the arts market, regional culture and arts, arts support systems, and the current status of arts education.
The theme of the first forum, held at 2 p.m. on the 8th, is "The Value and Resilience of Arts in an Era of Everyday Crisis." In connection with UNESCO's proposed "ResiliArt movement," the forum will explore ways to restore the arts facing crisis and policy support measures. Additionally, new attempts and efforts to protect artists and spread the value of arts will be shared.
