Why It Matters
The Arts Council of Korea promotes support for artists and promotion of culture and arts through the Literary Arts Promotion Fund contest every year.
The Arts Council of Korea announced on the 8th that it will be accepting applications for the ‘2027 Literary Arts Promotion Fund Contest Project’ through the National Culture and Arts Support System (ncas.or.kr) until the 5th of next month.
Next year's budget for the Literary Arts Promotion Fund's public offering project totals 93.9 billion won, the largest ever, an increase of 33.7 billion won from this year's 60.3 billion won. It is divided into six areas: field entry, literature, visual arts, interdisciplinary arts, performing arts, and international exchange.
The Arts Council will operate an ‘AI Guidance Chatbot’ starting on the 12th to provide information on the main contents of the project and the application process more easily and quickly. In addition, we are launching a ‘Find a Customized Project’ service that will help you find projects you can apply for by simply entering the application requirements.
Lee Beom-heon, chairman of the Arts Committee, said, “2027, when the largest support budget in history has been allocated, is an important turning point in creating a sustainable ecosystem for basic arts,” and added, “We will provide strong support to the art scene so that the contest promotes the creation and growth of artists and leads to the people’s enjoyment of rich culture.”
