[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam Province, will brand Susungdae, selected in this year's Gyeongnam Culture and Arts Promotion Agency's Provincial Culture and Arts Planning Support Contest, as a permanent cultural and artistic venue in nature.

From February 18 to February 28, the Gyeongnam Culture and Arts Promotion Agency accepted applications for the '2022 Provincial Culture and Arts Planning Support Contest,' a consortium project for basic local governments targeting local cultural and artistic organizations, aimed at discovering and branding planned regional cultural and artistic content.

Geochang-gun and the Geochang Cultural Foundation formed a consortium and applied with the project 'Discovering a Cultural Tourism Brand That Stays in the Embrace of Nature,' which was finally selected.

The Gyeongnam Culture and Arts Promotion Agency selected a total of three projects in March through document screening and interviews from 13 local organizations that applied as consortia with local governments. A total of 190 million KRW will be supported for the selected projects.

The county plans to brand Susungdae as a permanent regional cultural venue in nature with year-round performances, with a project budget of 125 million KRW, by supporting the Geochang Cultural Foundation, the project entity, with 65 million KRW from the provincial government and 60 million KRW from the county.

Through this project, from May to November, Susungdae will host 10 events including plays, musicals, music, and exhibitions, combining nature and culture and arts into a nature-friendly and popular cultural and artistic event.

County Governor Goo In-mo said, "Continuous efforts to brand cultural and artistic assets have brought good results," and added, "We will integrate Susungdae with culture and arts to make it a representative cultural brand not only for Geochang but also for the Republic of Korea."
