Gwangjin-gu Launches Online Platform for Culture, Arts, and Performances 'Gwangjin Munhwa ON'

Providing Information on All Local Performances, Exhibitions, Festivals, and Artists and Organizations

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Seon-gap) has launched an online platform called ‘Gwangjin Culture ON’ where residents can check cultural, artistic, and performance information all in one place.

This platform was created jointly by the district and the Gwangjin Cultural Center to improve residents’ access to culture and provide opportunities to communicate with local cultural artists.

In particular, the launch of this platform is especially meaningful as a result of public-private cooperation involving local cultural and artistic organizations such as the Gwangjin-gu Facilities Management Corporation, Gwangjin Cultural Foundation, Gwangjin Social Economy Network, and the Gwangjin branch of the Korea Federation of Arts and Culture Organizations.

Residents can access the Gwangjin Culture ON website without separate membership registration to check information on local performances, exhibitions, festival schedules, as well as profiles of artists and organizations.

Additionally, cultural artists and organizations can share their careers and works, and post information about performances, exhibitions, education, and lectures on the platform for promotion.

Along with this, the platform offers ‘Interview ON,’ which introduces selected artists of the month, and ‘Culture News ON,’ which provides various cultural news, contests, and support project information.

Furthermore, the district is conducting a membership registration event for cultural artists and cultural clubs until the 30th of this month to encourage participation in the platform.

Mayor Kim Seon-gap said, “At a time when it is difficult to meet culture and arts due to social distancing, I hope residents can easily enjoy cultural life through this online platform that comprehensively covers our district’s cultural news and event information. We will continue to prepare various support measures for residents and local artists who are going through difficult times due to COVID-19.”
