Until the next exhibition, the next performance. For artists, income gaps are an unavoidable reality. For fellow artists forced into predatory loans just to afford paint, canvas, and studio rent, proceeds from this artwork become the Seed Fund — extending a fair hand at fair rates.
Voices of fellow artists
“I starved for three days without telling my children.”
— 50s, theater artist
“I can't afford the dental treatment I desperately need.”
— 50s, actor
“The more I performed, the deeper in debt I went — so I quit.”
— 30s, actor
“Collection calls disrupted my rehearsals and performances, making each day unbearable.”
— 40s, theater artist
“With nowhere to go, I drifted between tiny rooms and rehearsal studios — and was homeless for a while.”
— 30s, musician
One artwork becomes the oxygen that keeps a fellow artist creating.

Jeong Seoon
Jeong Seoon (b. 1984) earned her B.F.A. in Painting from Daegu University and its graduate school in 2009, and has been actively working in the field of contemporary art. While she began her career based in Daegu, she has broadly expanded her artistic world both domestically and internationally. She began her first creative residency at Yeongcheon Creative Studio in 2009, and from 2013 to 2017 and again in 2020, she lived in Berlin, participating in various exhibitions and projects. In 2023 and 2024, she held solo exhibitions in Daegu and Pohang, continuing to present new works and sustain her creative and exhibition activities. Jeong Seoon's artistic world centers on the form of the 'house' as a medium to explore the relationships between space, objects, and the connections between human beings and the world. Her work extends beyond physical space to address mental space, offering viewers new insights into existence and relationships through depth of thought and original perspective.
