Smilegate Donates Gwangju Biennale Tickets to National Association of Regional Childcare Centers

Smilegate Hope Studio announced on the 6th that it donated tickets to the 14th Gwangju Biennale to the National Association of Regional Child Centers.

Hope Studio operates various support programs together with the National Association of Regional Child Centers to help children in welfare blind spots achieve their dreams. As part of this effort, the donation of tickets to the Gwangju Biennale was made. A total of 1,000 tickets were delivered. The National Association of Regional Child Centers plans to distribute the received tickets to child centers in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions.

Hope Studio has consistently supported cultural experience activities such as "A Special Autumn Picnic with Anipang 4 (2022)" and "A Resting Place for Wounded Children, Starting a Journey of Hope (2021)" targeting children in welfare blind spots nationwide, including about 60 group homes and regional child centers in Seongnam City.

Over the past four years, more than 3,400 children and adolescents have benefited. Even during the severe COVID-19 period, the programs were continuously operated to support cultural experiences for vulnerable children.

The Gwangju Biennale, now in its 14th edition, is an international art exhibition held every two years throughout the Gwangju area, where world-renowned artists exhibit their works and engage with the public. This year's Gwangju Biennale is held from April 7 to July 9.

Kwon Yeon-ju, Director of Hope Studio, said, "We have consistently operated support programs for vulnerable children and adolescents who have relatively fewer opportunities for diverse cultural experiences," adding, "We hope this will be an opportunity for children to happily grow by experiencing cultural events they are interested in."
