[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Yoonjin Kim] The Korea Federation of Arts and Culture Organizations (Korea Federation of Arts) declared a vision titled "A Republic of Korea Rebounding with the Power of New Arts" on the occasion of its 60th anniversary. On this day, the Korea Federation of Arts announced four strategic tasks and 19 detailed tasks.

At the vision proclamation ceremony held on the 15th in Ulsan Metropolitan City, about 300 representatives from 10 associations of the Korea Federation of Arts, 17 metropolitan city and provincial federations, and over 170 branches, along with affiliated artists, attended. President Yoon Seok-yeol, National Assembly Speaker Kim Jin-pyo, and Chairman of the National Assembly Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee Hong Ik-pyo sent congratulatory messages to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Korea Federation of Arts.

In his congratulatory speech, President Yoon Seok-yeol said, "I deeply thank the Korea Federation of Arts and all artists who have greatly contributed to the promotion and development of Korean culture and arts and the enhancement of artists' rights over the past 60 years," and added, "I hope the visions declared on the 60th anniversary of the Korea Federation of Arts will serve as a cornerstone to expand artists' artistic achievements and activity bases and to achieve a leap forward in Korean culture and arts."

The Korea Federation of Arts presented four strategic tasks for the new 60 years: ▲Improvement of the Korea Federation of Arts' independent management foundation ▲Protection of artists' rights and expansion of survival bases ▲Spread of culture and arts in daily life ▲Establishment of a strategy for globalizing Korean arts, and also announced 19 detailed tasks to realize these goals.

First, to improve the independent management foundation of the Korea Federation of Arts, it plans to expand the progressive business management of the Korea Artists Center located in Mok-dong, Seoul, and to support the development of regional federations by constructing complex artist centers by region. As detailed tasks for protecting artists' rights and expanding survival bases, five major tasks were set, including the establishment and activation of artists' cooperatives to ensure basic livelihood security.

Efforts to spread culture and arts in daily life include proposals such as establishing a Korea Federation of Arts broadcasting station and revitalizing the Korea Federation of Arts Lifelong Education Center. Given that the Korean Wave has recently become a global trend, the federation also plans to actively pursue the establishment of a strategy for globalizing Korean arts. To this end, it will promote the construction of an online platform for the Korea Federation of Arts and the establishment of overseas branches.

Lee Beom-heon, president of the Korea Federation of Arts, emphasized, "A united voice of artists is important to smoothly carry out the strategic tasks," and urged, "As the representative organization of Korean artists, the Korea Federation of Arts will not hesitate to fulfill its role befitting its status," asking for active interest from artists.
