AI Art Studio Opens to Expand Disability Employment

A special space where art, technology, and warm social values harmonize has opened its doors in the heart of Eunhaeng-dong, Daejeon. This venue, ambitiously unveiled by 'Anuta', a subsidiary-type standard workplace for people with disabilities under Plan I, embodies the aspiration to 'catch two rabbits' by not only exhibiting artworks but also offering new vocational opportunities for the disabled and an unprecedented artistic experience for visitors. The 'Anuta Showcase', majestically unveiled as a 5-story building on Junggyo-ro, Jung-gu, Daejeon, is a unique exhibition space where visitors can discover innovative works created through the collaboration of creators with disabilities, non-disabled artists, and cutting-edge AI technology, all in one place. In particular, the immersive media art exhibition hall 'Anuta Media Gallery (AMG)' located on B1 (basement first floor) can be called the highlight of the Anuta Showcase. Within the vivid visual beauty presented by large screens filling the walls, visitors will have the special experience of diving into the world of masterpieces. The first exhibition to mark its splendid beginning is the 'Frida Kahlo Exhibition', where visitors can meet Mexico's iconic painter Frida Kahlo with engaging commentary from an AI docent. On the first and second floors, visitors can encounter art closer to everyday life. From over 400 types of colorful gift-purpose paintings to over 600 types of stylish interior posters, the diverse AI art products presented by Anuta delight the eyes and bring the joy of ownership. In this space, visitors can directly appreciate and purchase artworks they like, taking artistic inspiration home with them. An Anuta official stated, "The Anuta Showcase will become a symbolic space of our time where art and technology beautifully coexist to create social value," and revealed the vision, "Using this successful launch in Daejeon as a stepping stone, we plan to expand Anuta Showcases nationwide in the future." Above all, the Anuta Showcase holds a deeper meaning beyond a simple art exhibition space. This is because it actively utilizes AI technology to robustly support people with disabilities in growing as digital content creators and acquiring professional vocational capabilities. This is a bold model that pursues both the precious social value of creating jobs for the disabled and continuous artistic innovation, instilling new hope and inspiration in our society. The Anuta Showcase, currently undergoing a soft opening period, has completed preparations to offer a completely new experience to Daejeon citizens and art enthusiasts nationwide through its official grand opening within the first half of this year.
