To narrow the cultural gap, we support the activities of local artists and culture and art groups in 10 cities and counties across North Gyeonggi. Not only is support provided to professional artists and art groups, but tailored support is also provided to different groups of ordinary people for culture in their daily lives. This year, KRW 660 million was used to support 104 individuals and art groups. An additional contest is scheduled in September to promote professional culture across North Gyeonggi.
