Art Nomad is a compound word of ‘art’, meaning art, and ‘nomad’, meaning wanderer or nomad. It refers to a cultural movement that practices free and creative art by moving around the wasteland of disabled art and transforming it into a land of new creation. Do it.
At the Art Nomad Art Fair, works by disabled artists actively working in the fields of Western painting, Oriental painting, Korean painting, and photography are displayed. Audiences can purchase works they like on site.
The art fair does not represent a difficult and solemn art museum, but rather an easy and enjoyable participatory art museum. To this end, audio docents using QR codes are provided to increase visitor participation and satisfaction. Additionally, we plan to operate the art creation experience programs ‘Caricature’ and ‘Special Hunter’.
In addition, Special Art will provide free consulting on the ‘preferential purchase system for creative works by disabled artists’ to public officials and public institution officials at this art fair.
As the ‘Preferential Purchase System for Creative Works by Disabled Artists’ became mandatory from March 28 last year, a total of 847 organizations, including the state, local governments, and public institutions, allocated more than 3% of the total purchase of creative works to creative works produced by disabled artists. Must purchase.
An official from Special Arts said, “As the ‘Preferential Purchase System for Creative Works by Disabled Artists’ has become mandatory starting this year, we expect a lot of interest and steps from public institutions and public officials.” He added, “Special Arts, a 10-year-old disabled arts agency, is committed to improving the management evaluation performance of public institutions.” We provide clear solutions on how to utilize and promote the creative works of disabled artists. “I hope you will come to the Art Nomad Art Fair to view the works of promising disabled artists and purchase beautiful works that demonstrate the organization’s vision,” he said.
In addition, a fair booth will be provided to support the sale and distribution of works by disabled artists, and all profits generated during the fair will go to the artists.
Meanwhile, the Art Nomad Art Fair is held in cooperation with Understand Avenue, Sejong City Culture and Tourism Foundation, Daegu Culture and Arts Promotion Agency, and Social Innovation Research Institute. It is known that the four cultural foundations and organizations have provided space in the region to create a stable creative environment for local artists, expand opportunities for local residents to enjoy culture and arts, and develop regionally specialized cultural and arts content.
Special Art, which planned the Art Nomad Art Fair, is a social enterprise that discovers the artistic potential and potential of people with disabilities and nurtures them into independent creators.
