Chungnam, Local Artists Can Apply for 'Livelihood Support Fund' Until the 30th

[Asia Economy (Hongseong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Chungnam Province is accepting applications for livelihood support funds for local artists until the 30th of this month. The application period has been extended by ten days from the original deadline of the 20th.

According to the province on the 25th, the livelihood support funds are provided to help local artists who have faced a livelihood crisis due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused the suspension of various performances and artistic activities.

The original application deadline was the 20th. However, due to relatively low application rates and with the intention of benefiting more artists, the province decided to extend the application period.

Applications can be submitted by visiting the arts-related department of the city or county office with jurisdiction over the applicant's address, or by sending the required documents via mail or fax by 6 p.m. on the deadline day.

A provincial official stated, “We understand that many artists are experiencing difficulties due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, which has restricted their activities and caused livelihood problems. Considering this situation, the province has decided to extend the application period for the livelihood support funds to ensure that local artists can receive benefits evenly.”
