[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 1st that it is recruiting ‘Street Artists’ who are talented amateur artists to freely perform in major cultural and recreational spaces in the city center.

The Street Artists project was established to help artists and groups who find it difficult to perform on professional stages to hold small-scale performances within the city by providing venues and sound equipment, thereby helping artists develop self-sustainability and allowing citizens to easily access cultural and artistic performances.

Applicants can be individuals or performance teams, and all genres such as singing, instrumental performance, and unique performances like magic and mime are eligible. Applications can be submitted from April 5 to April 18 by submitting an application form and a video.

The selection of candidates will be decided by comprehensively reviewing whether they can continuously perform at least once a month, whether they can perform independently with minimal equipment on the street, and the submitted videos.

However, if complaints arise due to noise or if the performance is commercial promotional in nature, making it difficult to maintain the project, the applicant may be excluded from the screening or disqualified even after selection.

Selected artists will be active from May to November, and the activity period may be adjusted depending on the spread of COVID-19.

A city official stated, “This project is expected to provide an opportunity for amateur artists active in the region to showcase their talents and offer rich sights and entertainment to citizens tired of their daily lives.”
