Daejeon City Supports Local Artists with Basic Creative Activity Grants '1 Million Won Per Person'

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Daejeon City will provide 1 million KRW per person as basic creative activity support funds to local artists.

According to the city on the 26th, the basic creative activity support is implemented to provide targeted support to local artists who have been overlooked in the government's third COVID-19 relief measures.

The support target is artists residing in Daejeon who have valid proof of artistic activity from the Korea Artists Welfare Foundation. However, employees affiliated with public institutions (including private schools) who are enrolled in workplace insurance are excluded from the support.

Applications can be submitted via email to the Daejeon Cultural Foundation by the 26th of next month, and the support funds will be paid into the applicant's bank account under their name. For application documents and other detailed information, please refer to the city or Daejeon Cultural Foundation websites.

The city plans to make the first payment of the support funds before the Lunar New Year holiday. Subsequently, payments will be completed by early March in the order of application receipt.

A city official said, “We hope this support will serve as a catalyst for stabilizing the livelihoods and restoring the creative activities of local artists who are experiencing economic difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic.”
