The Festival of Local Culture and Arts: 11th Uljin Arts Festival Fanfare

Uljin Arts Festival held last year.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk, will hold the 11th Uljin Arts Festival from the 17th to the 19th at the Uljin Yeonho Culture Center and Yeonho Park area.

This event is organized by the Uljin branch of the Korea Federation of Arts and Culture Organizations and is promoted as an event where cultural artists from affiliated associations such as the Fine Arts Association, Photography Association, Entertainers Association, and Gugak Association interact with the residents.

The Uljin Yeonho Culture Center, led by the Fine Arts and Photography Associations, will hold exhibitions of various works from Uljin to convey artistic sensibility to artists and residents and to discover talents.

At the outdoor stage in Yeonho Park, the opening performance marking the opening ceremony will be held on the 17th, followed by a club festival on the 18th showcasing the talents of local Uljin art clubs, and congratulatory performances including Gugak, singing, and instrumental music by the Boryeong Arts Group.

On the last day, the 19th, the festival will conclude with the finals of the Geumgang Pine Song Festival.

Unlike previous years, this arts festival has prepared family participation events such as a children's art sketch contest and a smartphone photography contest to create an event where culture, arts, and residents can participate together.

Experience events such as balloon art, calligraphy, and nail art have also been greatly expanded, and a local food market and flea market were opened to create a place where people can enjoy performances and events while participating.

Jang Hyun-yong, Director of the Culture and Tourism Division, said, “We hope the Uljin Arts Festival will be a good opportunity to show the potential for development of local artists,” and added, “We plan to inform residents that culture and arts are not far away but close by, and to provide opportunities for high-quality cultural enjoyment.”
