To Receive Emergency Welfare Support for Artists, Obtain an 'Art Activity Certificate' First

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] As the application period for the November Emergency Welfare Support Fund for Artists approaches, artists who wish to apply for the support fund must first obtain an "Artist Activity Certificate."

According to Boseong County on the 10th, the Emergency Welfare Support Fund for Artists is provided to assist artists whose livelihoods have been affected by COVID-19, and applicants must have an "Artist Activity Certificate" proving their active engagement as artists to be eligible to apply.

Applications for the Artist Activity Certificate can be made through the Korea Artist Welfare Foundation, and considering that it takes about eight weeks from application to issuance, applicants must apply by the 15th to receive the certificate in time for the second round of support fund applications.

A county official stated, "In the first round of applications, seven artists in Boseong County received the support fund, but many gave up at the application stage because they did not have the Artist Activity Certificate ready," adding, "This time, we hope that more people will benefit from the second round of support fund applications by preparing the necessary documents."

For more detailed information regarding the Artist Activity Certificate, please contact the Cultural Project Team at the Jeonnam Cultural Foundation.
