In April, marking the Day of Persons with Disabilities, the center held a public service campaign with the welfare center and showcased 30 artworks by aspiring artists with developmental disabilities affiliated with the center on the Digital Media Belt, a large electronic billboard along the Noryangjin section of Olympic-daero. To help the artists preserve the experience of exhibiting their work, the association filmed the works being displayed with a drone and made the footage into framed photos.

Choi Jong-hwan, director of the welfare center, said, "Hope emerges when someone pauses to look," and expressed his gratitude to the center for drawing attention to the works of artists with disabilities and supporting their creative activities.

Jeong Seonyong, chairman of the Korea Local Finance Association, said, "An important function of media is to connect people, and I believe that such connections are the power of solidarity. I hope this meeting will be a starting point for sharing the values of our community and fostering continued cooperation and solidarity."
