artists are shut out by banks
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.

About the Artist
Jeong Yeongsin, born in 1958 in Hampyeong, South Jeolla Province, is a documentary photographer and novelist who has devoted 40 years to exploring Korea's traditional five-day markets (oiljang). A traveler of the wind who has documented all 600-plus five-day markets held across the country, she yearns for these markets as if they were her hometown garden, a guileless country person searching for something she left behind at the market.
