Arirang Master Designation Program

  • The Arirang Master Designation Program is a celebration of the exceptional achievements of high-level artists in the realm of intangible cultural heritage, aiming to increase awareness of their contributions.
  • Based on the relevant Program Guide adopted by the International Advisory Group (IAB), the Arirang Master Designation aligns with the spirit of the 1980 UNESCO Recommendation.
