SAMSUNG provides support for artistic and cultural activities around the world

To promote culture and bring more beauty into the world of business, SAMSUNG provides support for artistic and cultural activities around the world. SAMSUNG's cultural and arts programmes provide diverse support for the preservation and exhibition of Korean and other ethnic heritages.

SAMSUNG's interest in culture and the arts dates back to the 1960's. Since its establishment in 1965, the SAMSUNG Foundation of Culture has worked to uncover, preserve and broaden the awareness of Korea's rich cultural heritage.

Over the years, SAMSUNG has contributed extensively to numerous museums, galleries and exhibits in Korea and around the world. SAMSUNG also hosts and supports various cultural events tailored to suit children and provide early artistic development, such as the annual Bichumi Painting Festival, the Glass Modelling Academy, and the Kenox Photo gallery.
