Dobong-gu, Recruiting Artists to Participate in Local Culture and Arts Support Project

Dobong-gu (Mayor Oh Eon-seok) is recruiting 60 local artists to participate in the regional cultural artist support project "Sounds Connecting Us" (hereinafter referred to as "Uri Sori") until February 14.

Uri Sori is a project that provides opportunities for skilled local artists to participate in cultural and artistic events, thereby enhancing the cultural brand value of Dobong-gu.

Last year, artists participating in Uri Sori took part in various Dobong-gu local events, including the Uicheon Light Festival, which attracted 130,000 participants, the 50th anniversary launch event of Dobong-gu, and the 11th Dobong Lantern Festival.

If selected as a participating local cultural artist for Uri Sori, artists will be given opportunities to perform at events hosted and planned by Dobong-gu in 2024, and will receive support such as sound equipment and performance fees.

Applicants must be residents of Dobong-gu and hold an artist activity certificate (or have experience working in Dobong-gu), and must fall under less than 120% of the median income based on health insurance payment standards.

Applications can be submitted by downloading the application form from the Dobong-gu website (Notice Board → Notices/Announcements), filling it out, and then sending it via email to the person in charge or submitting it in person to the Dobong-gu Office Cultural and Sports Division.

Through the first document screening and the second live performance screening, a final 60 teams will be selected. The announcement of successful document screening candidates will be individually notified via text message or phone call on February 20.

Following this, a live performance screening (public audition) will be held for the document screening passers at Seoninbong Hall on the 2nd floor of Dobong-gu Office from March 6 to 8, and the final successful candidates will be announced on March 13 on the Dobong-gu Office website. To ensure a fair live performance screening, four internal and external professional artists will participate as judges.

Oh Eon-seok, Mayor of Dobong-gu, said, "Uri Sori is a valuable opportunity to gain chances to perform at events and performances hosted by Dobong-gu and to grow as an artist," and added, "We hope many interested local artists will apply."
