A representative of the Suncheon Cultural Foundation said, "This year’s Agora Suncheon will visit the citizens of Suncheon, who have been halted by COVID-19, to deliver hope and vitality through culture and arts, and we will do our best to further develop it as a representative local arts festival that enhances the diversity, autonomy, and creativity of local culture and arts."

Since the 2013 Suncheonman International Garden Expo, "Agora Suncheon" has been the only annual performance operation system in the country where local cultural artists can participate widely and engage in continuous activities. It is a representative local performing arts festival that has continued for nine years to build a foundation for citizens to enjoy culture and arts in their daily lives and to expand the scope of cultural appreciation.
