Finding Artists to Breathe Life into Hongdae Red Road

8 Cultural Art Work Booths in Red Road Power Plant, Monthly Rent Around 80,000 KRW
Cooperative Project in Mapo-gu Promotes Win-Win Between Hongdae Red Road and Creators
Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, "Will Actively Support Artists Through Red Road Power Plant"

Mapo-gu (Mayor Park Gang-su) announced that it will recruit cultural and artistic creators (Redroad Makers) to move into the makers' booths within the Redroad Power Plant facility to support the active creative activities of cultural artists until February 2.

Located at 50-4, Wausan-ro 35-gil, Mapo-gu, the Redroad Power Plant is a space ambitiously prepared by Mapo-gu so that residents, tourists, and artists can enjoy and appreciate culture and arts up close. Mapo-gu is transforming this space from a former book culture space (the old Gyeongui Line Book Street) into a complex cultural and artistic facility.

Mapo-gu plans to discover and support cultural artists by renting out eight approximately 25㎡ cultural and artistic work booths within the Redroad Power Plant facility, which connects to the globally recognized cultural tourism spot Hongdae Redroad, at a monthly rent of around 80,000 KRW, which is cheaper than the surrounding market price.

The recruitment targets are creators in various cultural arts and broadcasting fields such as design, crafts, and webtoons. Anyone, whether individuals or groups, who can collaborate with Mapo-gu on content and work development linked to Redroad can apply.

The selected creators, called 'Redroad Makers,' chosen through document and presentation (PT) evaluations, will promote and activate Hongdae Redroad through artistic activities in their respective fields for one year. Additionally, Makers will have opportunities to actively participate in festivals, events, and activities organized by Mapo-gu.

Applicants wishing to move in can refer to the announcement section on the Mapo-gu website, download and fill out the application form, and submit it via email to the person in charge.

Park Gang-su, Mayor of Mapo-gu, said, “I hope the Redroad Power Plant will be a little help to cultural artists struggling due to the lack of creative spaces. We ask for the interest and applications of passionate individuals who will grow together with Redroad, and Mapo-gu will continue to actively support cultural artists through the Redroad Power Plant.”
