Gwangju Nam-gu Purchases 64 Disabled Artists' Works for 'Special Exhibition'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, purchased 64 artworks created by local people with disabilities last year to revitalize cultural and artistic activities for the disabled and will hold a special exhibition. This is to boost the morale and pride of disabled artists.

On the 22nd, Nam-gu announced, "Through the painting exhibition of disabled artists, we will activate communication between people with and without disabilities and promote the development of cultural and artistic activities for the disabled. From today until the 28th, we will hold a 'Special Exhibition of Artworks by People with Disabilities' at the first-floor civil service office of the district office."

The exhibition will showcase 50 works.

These works were personally created by local people with disabilities who participated in the '2021 Disabled Cultural and Artistic Activities Support Project.' Many of the exhibited works are highly praised as masterpieces, capturing delicate expressions and the unique imagination of the artists.

Additionally, the artworks depicting happy families and various animals from children's perspectives are expected to offer visitors a world of childhood innocence that they have long forgotten.

During the exhibition period, Nam-gu plans to arrange the artworks by day of the week and display them at local welfare facilities for people with disabilities after the exhibition ends.

A Nam-gu official stated, "We will nurture talented disabled artists and facilitate active communication between the local community and people with disabilities through the exhibition of cultural and artistic works."
