AK Plaza Hosts 'Life Artist' Talent Donation Class

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] AK Plaza is conducting local revitalization activities in collaboration with hidden local artists.

AK Plaza Cultural Academy announced on the 26th that starting in September, it will operate the 'Life Artist' classes, where five artists discovered directly share their talents, at all branches of the Cultural Academy.

The 'Life Artist' program is an artist discovery initiative that identifies emerging artists with expertise in various fields and supports their creative activities, enabling them to work as exclusive instructors at AK Plaza Cultural Academy. Upon final selection as an artist, various supports are provided for their creative activities and class operations, including profile photo shoots, provision of lecture material costs, and classroom support.

In May, AK Plaza recruited participants for the first term of the 'Life Artist' program to discover hidden local artists. Among the applicants, five were finally selected and provided with various supports for active instructor activities. In the 'Life Artist' talent donation classes held in September, the five local artists selected in the first term will serve as instructors and donate their talents to general customers. Applications for the second term of the 'Life Artist' program can be submitted through the Cultural Academy website until September 30. The fields of support are diverse, including cooking, literature, art, and sports.

The 'Life Artist' talent donation classes at AK Plaza Cultural Academy will be conducted in five fields: cooking, calligraphy, personal color, digital caricature, and baking. In the cooking field, the 'Green Table Salad Recipe' class will be taught by influencer Kwon Kyung-mi, who has 59,000 followers on SNS and focuses on delicious meals for family. In the calligraphy field, the 'Lifetime Keepsake Photo Calligraphy' class will be led by writer Hong Soo-min, who is active on various platforms to promote writing that fits contemporary sensibilities, donating her talent. Other classes include 'Personal Color That Suits Me' by color therapist Kim Kyung-hee, 'Digital Caricature Illustration' by graphic designer and mother Jo Hye-ji, and 'Visually Appealing Baking Perfect for Gifts' by designer and workshop operator Kim Eun-jung.

Classes are scheduled from September 5 to October 25 with various time slots at each branch. Applications can be made on a first-come, first-served basis at the AK Plaza Cultural Academy desk or website. For detailed class schedules, please refer to the AK Plaza website.
