[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Anguk Pharm (CEO Won Deok-kwon) announced on the 23rd that it has received the 'Excellent Institution for Cultural and Artistic Sponsorship Re-certification' from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism three times in a row for its professional and active support in discovering and nurturing emerging artists in the visual arts sector.

Anguk Pharm was first selected as an excellent institution for cultural and artistic sponsorship in 2016, received re-certification in 2019, and was re-certified again this year as the certification expires every three years. Anguk Pharm stated, "Due to the nature of the art world, where results are not easily achieved in a short period, we are fully committed to providing continuous support and activity bases for emerging artists despite challenging conditions." They also explained, "We are preparing various programs such as exhibitions so that residents in culturally marginalized areas can equally share high-quality art culture."

An Anguk Pharm official said, "We are not limited to sponsorship projects for the Anguk Cultural Foundation and AG Gallery, but are also interested in the 'Anguk Art Award,' first awarded in 2021 to outstanding domestic artists participating in major domestic biennales." He added, "Non-financial support activities such as promotional support, consultation support, and artist consulting, along with financial support activities, are creating synergy, and we plan to continue operating these efforts steadily."
