The National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art’s Cheongju Art Storage Center said Thursday it signed a memorandum of understanding with the ROK Army’s 37th Infantry Division on March 24 to run arts and culture programs and support museum visits for service members.
The agreement is intended to broaden access to cultural experiences for troops carrying out mandatory service, as well as their families and civilian employees. The museum said the program will cover not only the division headquarters in Jeungpyeong but also subordinate units across North Chungcheong Province, including Danyang, Yeongdong and Cheongju, to help narrow regional gaps in cultural access and strengthen the role of a public museum.
Under the MOU, the two sides will jointly operate arts education programs for service members and their families, provide free admission to exhibitions at MMCA Cheongju, and pursue exchanges and cooperative projects related to arts and culture.
MMCA Cheongju said it plans to further detail support aimed at improving service members’ emotional well-being and quality of life.
