Hyosung, Walking Together with Disabled Artists

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Soyeon] The planned exhibition "Value Connected Together" at the 'Jamsil Creative Studio,' supported by Hyosung as part of its cultural and artistic support activities, will be held from the 16th of this month to the 4th of next month at the Seosomun Holy Ground History Museum in Seoul.

This planned exhibition consists of a curated exhibition by resident artists of the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture's Jamsil Creative Studio, a joint creative exhibition by resident artists of the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture's creative spaces, and a curated exhibition from a mentoring program for children with disabilities.

Hyosung has sponsored the creation and exhibition costs of works by resident artists at the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture's Jamsil Creative Studio as part of its Mecenat activities for three years.

This year, it provided sponsorship funds of 100 million KRW, and from 2018, it donated a total of 200 million KRW over three years. The sponsorship funds have been used for the artistic activities of about 30 artists with disabilities so far.

Jamsil Creative Studio is the only creative space in South Korea for visual artists with disabilities, operated by the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture. Every year, through a residency application process, 12 visual artists with disabilities are selected and provided with studio space, and to date, over 130 artists with disabilities have been discovered.

A Hyosung official stated, "We will strive to create an environment where talented artists with disabilities can be nurtured," adding, "We hope that the cultural and artistic fields, which have been stagnant due to COVID-19, will gradually revitalize."
