According to the "2023 Survey on the Operation Status of Culture and Arts Centers" by the Korea Association of Culture and Arts Centers, the average utilization rate of performance halls nationwide as of 2023 is only 44.1%, said Representative Kim. "In particular, it is pointed out that the low utilization of local performance halls hinders the creative activities of emerging artists and local arts organizations and acts as an obstacle to the development of local culture.", he explained the background of the bill's proposal.
The revision, which lawmaker Kim proposed on the 22nd, calls for more than 70% of the annual mandatory utilization rate of public concert halls and more than 30% of performance programs in the basic arts sector to solve these problems and enable public concert halls to support artists' creative activities and play a central role in local cultural development.
Lawmaker Kim expected that if the bill is passed, the utilization rate of the venue will increase, maximizing the utilization of the performance space, and revitalizing the local art ecosystem, creating an environment where residents can access various cultural contents. "Public concert halls are important infrastructure to revitalize the art ecosystem by providing opportunities for creation and presentation to emerging artists and local art organizations, and to provide high-quality cultural content to local residents," Kim said. "We will continue to take the lead in institutional improvement to increase the operational efficiency of public concert halls and to create an environment in which emerging artists can devote themselves to creation." expressed his will.
