This year, the Center also plans to support citizens' free and voluntary cultural participation and exchange, but will designate 'Jungma Gyoyeokso' as the activity space for participants and operate the program accordingly.

The Jungma Gyoyeokso, which will serve as the stage for the 'Jungma Gyoyeokso Citizen Club', is a cultural space located within Madong Ecological Park. It was created in 2023 as part of the Cultural City Project by utilizing used containers donated by companies.

This space, born out of public-private-industry collaboration, was used for exhibitions and citizen rentals until last year. Starting this year, the Center plans to further activate the space by adding various planned programs.

The 'Jungma Gyoyeokso Citizen Club' is open to any group of five or more citizens based on shared interests. The Center will select five teams each in the first and second half of the year, based on criteria such as companionship, problem-solving ability, and specificity of activities. Selected teams will receive a certain amount of meeting expenses (for 5 to 7 meetings per team).

Applications for participation in the 'Jungma Gyoyeokso Citizen Club' can be submitted via email until the 3rd of next month. After a document review, the final selected teams will be announced on the 10th of next month.

Park Sihun, Director of the Gwangyang Cultural City Center, said, "There are many citizens in Gwangyang who wish to participate in small-scale cultural and artistic groups. Supporting their activities and providing opportunities for exchange is an important process in laying the foundation for a cultural city," and added, "We ask for your interest and participation in the 'Jungma Gyoyeokso Citizen Club', one of the most popular and well-received programs among our projects at the Gwangyang Cultural City Center."
