[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] Changwon City in Gyeongnam is recruiting artists for the public art project "Our Neighborhood Art."

On the 20th, Changwon City announced that it is calling for artist teams for the "2020 Public Art Project Our Neighborhood Art," which started on the 19th, aiming to create jobs for local cultural artists and provide residents with opportunities to appreciate culture.

This project is hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Gyeongnam Province, and organized by the city.

The city plans to install public art works at the Jinhae Wood Culture Experience Center by February next year with a project budget of 400 million KRW. Approximately 37 artists, including representatives, artists, and administrative support personnel, will be selected through a public competition and will receive wages and material costs.

Applicants can choose their preferred project type, either installation-type works such as sculpture and painting or cultural space creation and exhibition types.

Gwak Gi-kwon, head of the Green City Project Office, said, "Through the Our Neighborhood Art project, we hope not only to create jobs for local artists but also to transform the Wood Culture Experience Center into a cultural space with enhanced dignity through various types of artworks."
