[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 27th, Jinju Mayor Cho Gyu-il held a meeting with the ‘1230 Yesul Research Association,’ established to revitalize local arts and culture, to discuss the promotion of regional arts and culture.

The 1230 Yesul Research Association, consisting of artists active in various fields such as Western painting, Korean painting, ceramics, sculpture, and design, has been working together to discuss and prepare exhibitions since its inaugural exhibition in 2014, operating for seven years.

Composed of young artists in their 20s and 30s, the 1230 Yesul Research Association aims to revitalize the stagnant arts culture of Gyeongnam and provide local residents with opportunities to enjoy quality artworks through diverse exhibitions.

Chairman Kim Young-seon expressed gratitude, saying, “We thank ANH CEO Ahn Hyun-soo, who sponsors us annually,” and added, “We hope Jinju City will also provide warm support to local artists.”

In response, Mayor Cho Gyu-il stated, “Today, I heard the vivid voices of young artists about what is needed in the art field,” and pledged, “We will create conditions for young artists to create and do our best to establish related markets.”

A Jinju city official said, “We will reflect the opinions gathered through the meeting in cultural and artistic projects, and continue to collect feedback from field artists to discover and support capable local artists, striving to revitalize Jinju’s culture and arts.”
