Fourteenth International Conference on the Arts in Society

Abstract

As an art education program manager at Chungnam Arts and Culture Foundation, I’ve been organizing weekend arts education program “Dreaming Attic” which aims to shape the local community as a platform where local artists display their creativity, school-age children showcase their works and interact with each other. Since 2016, I have collaborated with more than 41 art organizations in our 15 cities and counties to make people enjoy artistic daily life for 3 years. By organizing this project, I encouraged the participation of the public and provided the opportunity to nurture their creative ideas and interest in art. Especially celebrating UNESCO International Arts Education Week, which was held in every May, I aimed to reinforce the value of art education, cultural diversity and social cohesion. It was a successful event with 2,500 participants. ‘PLAY’ is my motto to work. P is for Partnership and Passion; L is for Learn; A is for Action. And the last Y is for Youth. I want to share how I organize a unique tailor-made cultural program to the community with this PLAY spirit in your conference on The Arts in Society.
