The Bucheon Cultural Foundation (CEO Byeong-Hwan Han, hereinafter referred to as the Foundation) will hold the ‘Urban Safari Art Market’ for two days from Saturday, September 28 to Sunday, September 29, in the area around exits 3 and 4 of Wonjong Station. This is the fourth event this year, following the Bucheon City Hall lawn plaza, the Okgil-dong Byeolbitmaru Library area, and the Sangdong Guji Park area. At the last event, a total of 3,400 citizens visited, establishing itself as a Bucheon-type art market that connects artists, space, and citizens.
The ‘Urban Safari Art Market’ is a cultural city project that allows citizens to easily access and purchase works by local artists, including crafts, paintings, and illustrations, in the ‘seulsekwon’. ‘Seulse-gwon’ is a new word that combines slippers and station area, meaning an area close to where you can wear comfortable clothes such as slippers.
Through the ‘Urban Safari Art Market’, citizens can purchase art products in their living areas, and local artists can secure distribution channels for art products. The foundation helps spread social value through revitalizing the local economy. This event is ▲’Art in everyday life’ where local art products are sold and experienced ▲a first-come-first-served giveaway event based on purchase amount ▲a satisfaction survey event where anyone who enjoyed the event can participate and receive goods from the Bucheon Cultural Foundation ▲local artists’ A variety of events were organized, including a drawing event for donated works.
In particular, we strive to spread an eco-friendly consumption culture by providing citizens who walk more than 10,000 steps or bring both a tumbler and a shopping cart the opportunity to participate in a raffle for participating artists’ works, and by not providing packaging when purchasing products. Detailed information can be found on the foundation’s website (www.bcf.or.kr).
Meanwhile, Bucheon City was nationally designated as the first cultural city at the end of 2019 and is now in its fifth year as a cultural city. This event is being promoted as part of the foundation’s cultural city creation project. The above content is written by Lee Ye-jin, a professional reporter in the culture department of Korean Today.
