Naju-si, Second Round of 'Emergency Welfare for Artists' Applications from the 16th

[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yukbong] Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Kang In-gyu) announced on the 13th that it will accept the second round of applications for the emergency welfare support project for local artists from the 16th to the 27th.

The emergency welfare support for artists is a project to support artists who are experiencing financial difficulties due to the suspension of performances, artwork activities, and other events caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.

Cash payments of 500,000 KRW will be provided as a foundation for artists' creative activities and living stabilization funds.

The support target is artists who have a registered address in the city and have completed artist activity certification. Applicants can fill out the application form and submit it by visiting the Culture and Arts Division or by mail.

Unlike the first round, the eligibility for the second round allows employed persons to apply if their income is below 120% of the median income.

Only an additional health insurance premium payment confirmation document needs to be submitted along with the existing application documents.

Meanwhile, the city has previously provided emergency support funds totaling 11.5 million KRW to 23 artists through the first round of emergency welfare support for artists.

A city official said, "We hope this emergency support will help artists who are facing great difficulties in their livelihoods due to the contraction of artistic activities caused by COVID-19," and added, "Since the eligibility criteria for the second application have been somewhat relaxed, we hope everyone applies within the application period without omission."
