Anyang City Hall

Anyang City in Gyeonggi Province is accepting applications for the 'Artist Opportunity Income' program until the 11th of this month to guarantee creative opportunities for artists.

The Artist Opportunity Income was introduced for the first time this year to reward the social value of art, promote creative activities, and foster cultural and artistic values.

The opportunity income for individual artists is 750,000 KRW twice a year, totaling 1,500,000 KRW annually.

Anyang City has targeted approximately 630 eligible artists and secured a project budget of 756 million KRW. Any shortfall will be covered through supplementary budgeting later.

Eligible applicants must be residents registered in the city as of the announcement date, be 19 years or older, and possess an 'Artist Activity Certificate' issued by the Korea Artist Welfare Foundation.

Additionally, the individual's recognized income must be below 120% of the median income standard for this year (2,493,470 KRW per month).

Artists wishing to apply can do so online via Gyeonggi Minwon 24 or by visiting Anyang City Hall (Culture and Tourism Division, Arts Promotion Team) or the administrative welfare center in their jurisdiction.

Since June 30, Anyang City has started accepting applications for the Artist Opportunity Income support project and has paid the first installment (750,000 KRW) to 388 artists whose eligibility was confirmed.
