The "Social Support through Arts and Culture" program supports artistic activities in which people from various social environments can participate together and demonstrate their creativity while respecting each other's individuality, as well as activities that utilize the characteristics of arts and culture to address various social and urban issues. The purpose of this program is to support pioneering activities that promote the new significance of art and culture in society and the ideal way of art that is open to all people, as well as activities that steadily contribute to solving problems from a long-term perspective.
