Introduction of Support Projects for Domestic and International Activities

Yoo In-chon, Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, will meet with artists from various fields at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 21st to discuss the direction of art development and support policies. Attendees include emerging and mid-career artists, journalists and critics from art magazines, exhibition planners, archive and copyright officials, and art industry representatives. The plan is to listen to voices from the field and lay the foundation for Korean art to grow globally.

At his first press briefing on the 30th of last month, Minister Yoo identified art as a new driving force of the Korean Wave. He expressed strong determination for support, saying, "If Korean art were like hiking, it has just passed the initial stage and is now beginning to climb toward the summit."

On this day, Minister Yoo is expected to introduce new projects supporting the domestic and international activities of capable artists. A Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism official stated, "We plan to especially listen to current issues in exhibition planning and criticism, and also raise topics on copyright in the art field to discuss various development measures."
