Recruitment of Participants for Yangcheon Cultural Foundation Project Supporting Young Artists

Monthly Activity Fee of 1 Million Won Supported for 5 Months, Separate Project Execution Fee Provided... Professional Mentoring and Promotional Consulting Support for Crowdfunding Goals, etc.

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Yangcheon-gu (Mayor Kim Sooyoung) Yangcheon Cultural Foundation is recruiting participants for ‘Dandanhang Upgrade Human Ver.2’ to support the activities of young artists.

This project was established to respond to the shrinking cultural and arts industry due to the spread of COVID-19, which has led to reduced opportunities and jobs for young artists and consequently decreased income. Furthermore, it aims to create a funding mechanism through crowdfunding to enable young artists to continue their artistic work.

‘Dandanhang Upgrade Human Ver.2’ plans to select one team in each of the four fields: literature, visual arts (public art), video, and music. Teams or groups composed of two young artists under the age of 39 (submission of group verification documents required) are eligible to apply. Related documents can be downloaded from the notice section on the Yangcheon Cultural Foundation website.

Applications can be submitted via email (min@yfac.kr) from May 24 to June 11 by 6 p.m. The results of the document screening will be announced on June 18, and interviews (PT evaluations) will be conducted on June 24 for successful applicants only.

The foundation plans to provide the selected teams with a monthly activity allowance of 1 million KRW and separate project execution funds for five months starting in July. In addition, it will actively support local understanding workshops, crowdfunding education, professional mentoring, and promotional consulting.

Kim Shina, director of the Yangcheon Cultural Foundation, said, “We hope many young artists who are interested in the meeting and collaboration between the local community and artists will participate.”
