[Hampyeong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Hampyeong County, Jeonnam (Governor Lee Sang-ik) announced on the 3rd that it will recruit artist teams to participate in the public art project 'Our Neighborhood Art' until the 9th.

The public art project, promoted as part of the cultural new deal project by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Jeonnam Province, is a project that installs and operates artworks in public places to create jobs for local artists whose activities have been restricted due to COVID-19 and to enhance residents' cultural enjoyment.

The county plans to invest a total project cost of 400 million KRW in this project and install various public artworks in Hampyeong Expo Park, Hwayang Neighborhood Park, Susanbong, and other locations.

In addition, the county plans to expand tourism infrastructure using art throughout the town and city area by linking it with the urban regeneration project and Hampyeong Cheonjigil creation project, which are being promoted from this year.

Those who wish to apply must form a team of about 37 members, including artists and administrative support personnel with a representative, and submit the related documents by visiting or mailing them directly to the responsible department (Hampyeong County Office, Culture, Tourism and Sports Division) by the 9th.

However, the representative must possess a business registration certificate or unique number certificate related to art and creative work.

The county will evaluate the submitted applications based on understanding of the project, feasibility, planning ability, and artistry, and select one final team through the first document screening and the second selection committee review.

The final selected artist team will carry out the project until February next year, and a total project cost of 400 million KRW, including artist labor costs and artwork production costs, will be supported.
