내용

Busan Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Heong-joon) announced that it will display selected outstanding works from the “15-Minute City Busan Art Running Challenge,” held in collaboration with Danggeun Market this past February, at the underground passage of Busan City Hall subway station from today (April 13) through April 17.

The “15-Minute City Busan Art Running Challenge” is a citizen participation program in which participants walk or run through various spaces within their living areas and use GPS routes to create drawings. Many citizens, including running crews, took part in the program.

Participants created diverse and imaginative drawings—such as dogs, elephants, red horses, whales, and strawberries—by passing through key facilities within their neighborhoods, including parks, administrative welfare centers, youth spaces, Deullak Nallak, and Haha Centers. Among these, works with exceptional creativity and completeness will be presented to the public in this exhibition.

Participants shared that the challenge was meaningful as it allowed them to newly discover key 15-minute city facilities near their homes and naturally incorporate exercise into their daily routines.

Busan Metropolitan City expects that this exhibition will provide an opportunity for citizens to feel more familiar with the 15-minute city concept and to newly recognize local spaces and facilities while appreciating creative works.

Min Soon-gi, Director General of the Future Space Strategy Bureau, stated, “Through this challenge, we received works reflecting citizens’ imagination and individuality, and participant satisfaction was high,” adding, “We will continue to promote a variety of participatory programs to create a 15-minute city Busan where citizens can experience happiness close to home.”
