Establishing a Framework to Improve Masterpieces in Art Creation

Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to Hold Discussion Forum Tomorrow at 1 PM

The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will hold a discussion tomorrow (the 13th) at 1 p.m. to review and improve the payment system for art creation fees. The art creation fee system is designed to support artists in receiving fair compensation for various activities they undertake during exhibitions. Since last year, it has been piloted mainly at national and public art museums.

The discussion will focus on gathering field opinions based on the pilot operation. The topic will be presented by Hyein Kim, a research fellow at the Korea Culture and Tourism Institute. Ki-young Baek, Head of Operations at the Buk Seoul Museum of Art, and Myung-ok Lee, Honorary President of the Korea Private Art Museum Association, will summarize the progress and key points of previous discussions and exchange views on the payment of creation fees across national, public, and private institutions.

Jong-geun Kim, Chair of the Criticism and Academic Committee at the Korea Fine Arts Association; Seung-gon Lee, Director of the Minjok Artists Association; Sang-cheol Kim, Operating Committee Member of the Artists' Social Union; Jeong-seok Kang, artist from the Art Producers Group; and Chang-gyeom Kim, Chairperson of the Korea Media Art Association, will each represent their respective artist organizations to present their positions and engage in the discussion.

To prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the event will be held without an audience. Instead, it will be live-streamed on the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s Facebook page, where participants can ask questions and receive answers via comments.
