[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Yeosu City (Mayor Kwon Oh-bong) announced that it is recruiting one team of artists to participate in the "Our Neighborhood Art" project, which will create jobs for local cultural artists and provide a venue for residents to enjoy culture and arts.

The "Our Neighborhood Art" project is a 'Public Art Project' hosted by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Jeollanam-do, and organized by Yeosu City. It involves installing artworks that reflect the identity and characteristics of the region or operating community programs with resident participation.

According to the city, the project will be carried out from September this year to February next year in the Hwajeong-myeon area, including Nangdo and Sado, with a total support of 400 million KRW provided to the selected artist team.

Artists wishing to participate should form a team of at least 37 members, including a representative, artists, and administrative support personnel, and submit the project proposal and other required documents in person to the Culture and Arts Division by September 4.

Qualifications for participating artists and other detailed information can be found in the notices/announcements section on the Yeosu City website or by contacting the Culture and Arts Team of the Culture and Arts Division.

A city official stated, "This project will create jobs for local artists who have faced difficulties due to COVID-19 and provide opportunities for communication between residents and artists," adding, "We hope many local artists will show interest and participate to breathe beautiful and refined artistic spirit into Nangdo and Sado, which have become closer through the Yeosu Seomseom-gil."

Meanwhile, Yeosu City will conduct a first round of document screening followed by a second round of interview evaluations (team presentations).

The final selected team will be announced on the 9th of next month based on criteria such as project understanding, feasibility, planning and artistry, budget appropriateness, and participation of local artists.
