CICAPress소개
CICAPress는‘젊은’문화창작가의관점에서아트와문화전반의소식을전하는온라인+프린트미디어입니다.CICAPress는‘정신’이젊은문화창작가들을후원합니다.나이와배경을불문하고열정과비판적인사고,창의적이고실험적인표현에대한욕구를가지신분이라면우리모두‘젊은’문화창작가가아닐까요?질풍노도청춘의이유없는반항심과열정과도같이,눈먼불나방과도같은창작의욕구,표현의욕구가세상을바꿀수있다는확신을가져봅니다.
CICAPress는‘미술의중심지’로부터세계로의일방적인흐름을극복하고자세계각지역의지역작가와문화를세계독자들에게소개하는교두보가되고자합니다.온라인및오프라인공간을통하여지역작가,디자이너,관객,주민들을위한글로벌네트워크를제공하여,각자의공간에서고유의문화를발전시키면서동시에세계적인수준의예술문화를창출하고,공유하고,즐기고,감동을주며,예술이삶에스며들수있도록힘쓰고있습니다.
