국내 미술 분야 예술인 복지제도 개선 방향 연구

This study aims to establish sustainable welfare systems to support the livelihoods of professional artists in the field of art, visual art in specific, by analyzing domestic and international welfare policies and conducting in-depth interviews with practicing artists. The research methodology employs dual focal point. The first point involves a literature review to examine welfare systems closely related to the livelihoods of artists in South Korea, analyzing their effectiveness and sustainability specifically within the visual art sector. The second point encompasses in-depth interviews with active visual artists to identify critical real-world issues and suggest directions for policy improvement. The qualitative data collected and analyzed from these two focal points were synthesized. The findings reveal two primary limitations of the current welfare systems: (1) restricted applicability and issues with effectiveness and sustainability due to insufficient consideration of the genre-specific characteristics of the fine arts field, and (2) a lack of understanding and responsibility among arts organizations and artists concerning the welfare systems. As recommendations, the study proposes refining the occupational classification system and labor value standards in the art field, establishing indicators for the development and certification of artistic competencies, simplifying administrative procedures, enhancing education on welfare systems, promoting social consensus through practical actions, activating mediating organizations to strengthen implementation, and strengthening the strict standards and evaluation system.
