Recruiting 44 Members for Seoul's Public Art 'Citizen Discovery Team' Found and Shared Directly by Citizens

Applications Open Until the 28th, Activities Start in July After Completing Online Pre-Training

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul City announced on the 9th that it will recruit the 'Public Art Citizen Discovery Group,' a group of citizens who directly discover public art works throughout Seoul, create content, and share it with many citizens, from the 9th to the 28th.

Now in its 6th year, the 'Public Art Citizen Discovery Group' plans to focus on creating and spreading various content beyond simply discovering works under the theme of 'Sharing and Communication of Public Art.' Last year, the city divided Seoul into four regions: northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast, and discovered 40 works under the theme of 'Our Neighborhood Public Art.' The discovery group personally introduced the discovered works to about 270 citizens.

In particular, this year, high-quality video content will be created together with individual media creators. By newly introducing the 'Mate Program,' the discovery group will visit public art with family, friends, or lovers to create content, and also include historical landmarks and popular restaurants where people can enjoy public art in the content.

The '2021 Public Art Citizen Discovery Group' will set group symbols and conduct activities centered on public art spaces recently established, such as Noksapyeong Station and Nodeul Island, which were created through the 'Seoul is a Museum' project.

Any citizen who can participate in the 'Mate' activity, visiting public art locations with acquaintances, can apply, and must complete preliminary training before starting full activities.

The preliminary training will be held on July 3rd and conducted online. The training content includes 'Understanding Public Art,' 'Trends and Directions of Seoul City's Public Art Policy,' and 'Strengthening Communication Skills.' Considering attendance at the preliminary training and submitted motivation letters, about 40 people will be finally selected and individually notified on July 7th.

Applications can be made through the Seoul City website from the 9th to the 28th, and detailed information can be found on the Seoul City website.
