Pyeongtaek City Recruitment of Participating Groups for Disability Culture and Arts Promotion Project

[Suwon Ilbo=Correspondent Seo Dong-young] Pyeongtaek City is recruiting participating groups for the '2021 Disability Culture and Arts Promotion Project,' which provides activity support to disability culture and arts organizations within the city and promotes cultural and arts engagement among people with disabilities, through the 25th of this month.

The Disability Culture and Arts Promotion Project is jointly implemented by Gyeonggi Province and 17 cities and counties within the province. The project aims to provide opportunities for culturally and socially marginalized disability artists to create and present cultural and artistic works, thereby increasing employment for disability artists and expanding cultural and arts accessibility for people with disabilities.

Groups interested in participating should complete and submit the application form and project plan posted on the city's website under notices and announcements. The city plans to make final selections through a first-stage document screening (eligibility review) and a second-stage expert evaluation.

A city official stated, "This is a project we are undertaking for the first time after being selected in last year's Gyeonggi Province recruitment. Based on this year's project outcomes, we plan to expand the project scope through collaboration between disability arts organizations and non-disability arts organizations," and requested the interest and participation of local arts organizations.

For more details regarding the recruitment, contact the city's Culture and Arts Division at (031)8024-3223.
