The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, in collaboration with the Korea Disabled People's Cultural and Arts Center, announced that it will hold the "Eum Art Port 2025" disabled artists' arts market at Modu Art Space from the 19th to the 24th to support the "priority purchase system for works of disabled artists."

The "priority purchase system for works of disabled artists" is a system that mandates the national and local governments and public institutions to "prioritize purchasing" works produced by disabled artists to promote their creative activities and market entry.

"Eum Art Port" is an event to realize this system, supporting disabled artists in entering the cultural and artistic distribution market. This arts market will display 100 artworks from 50 disabled artists and provide customized information on artworks to purchasing institutions to support the purchase of creations.

In addition to the exhibition, a promotional booth will be operated to guide various government support systems for disabled artists. It will provide information on the "priority purchase system for works of disabled artists," "Eum Art Platform," "proof of artistic activity system," and "copyright registration, mediation, and legal consultation," among other programs that can practically assist disabled artists in their creative activities.
