Busan Metropolitan City, led by Mayor Chun Jae-soo, announced that it will hold the “9th Elected Administration Culture and Arts Policy Town Hall Meeting” at 2:30 p.m. on September 30 in the Grand Conference Room on the first floor of City Hall.

Under the theme “Busan, a City Where Culture Is a Fundamental Right: Citizens Ask, Busan Answers,” the event has been organized to share the city’s policy vision for advancing citizens’ fundamental cultural rights and to engage directly with citizens on major issues.

The town hall meeting will consist of two parts: policy presentations in Part 1 and discussions on current issues in Part 2.

Part 1 will present the 9th elected administration’s culture and arts policy vision in areas including cultural activities in everyday life, cultural industries, and governance, as well as policies to support artists. A thematic discussion will follow the presentations.

Part 2 will provide an opportunity for open dialogue in which citizens can freely exchange views on major issues facing the local cultural community, including the establishment of a branch of the Centre Pompidou.

Citizens wishing to participate can apply by scanning the QR code on promotional materials posted on the Busan Metropolitan City website (https://www.busan.go.kr) and the city’s official social media channels (https://www.busan.go.kr/mediabusan), among others.

Busan Metropolitan City will select 60 citizen participants, taking into comprehensive consideration factors such as age group, gender, area of residence, and fields of interest to ensure diversity and representation among participants. Mobile invitations are scheduled to be sent by September 23.

Mayor Chun Jae-soo said, “This town hall meeting will provide a valuable opportunity to engage in in-depth discussions with citizens about how culture and arts policies can be implemented in ways that benefit their lives and what decisions should be made for Busan’s future.”

He added, “The diverse views expressed by citizens at the town hall meeting will be actively incorporated into the culture and arts policies of the 9th elected administration.”
