Gangwon Special Self-Governing Province (Governor Kim Jin-tae) announced on the 8th that the Gangwon Cultural Foundation (CEO Shin Hyun-sang) Artist Welfare Support Center will implement the ‘Second Half Year Visiting Art Activity Certification Registration Support Service’ from the 11th to improve the welfare of artists in the province.

This service is designed for senior artists and those in the province who face difficulties applying online due to being part of the information and communication technology (IT) vulnerable group. Staff from the Gangwon Cultural Foundation will visit sites in person to provide guidance on the program and assist with the registration application for art activity certification.

According to the Gangwon Cultural Foundation, this service has supported a total of 610 art activity certification registrations over the past three years, and as of the 7th, the total number of artists who have completed art activity certification in Gangwon Province reaches 4,077. Artists who receive the ‘Art Activity Certification Confirmation’ can apply for various welfare benefits such as the Korea Artist Welfare Foundation’s ‘Art Activity Preparation Fund Support’ and ‘Artist Living Stabilization Fund’.

The second half year service will be sequentially operated in five regions: Wonju (11th), Sokcho (18th), Donghae (23rd?25th), Hongcheon (November 1st), and Pyeongchang (November 11th?13th). Notably, this service will also include booths providing legal and psychological counseling support, offering additional assistance to artists experiencing legal issues or psychological difficulties.

Shin Hyun-sang, CEO of the Gangwon Cultural Foundation, stated, “We will continue to strive to revitalize welfare support projects for artists to create a stable creative environment for artists within Gangwon Province.”
