With the aim of reflecting the value of traditional craft and creating sustainable crafts for the future, YÉOL supports various programs funding master artisans, YÉOL Artisan of the Year Award, Young Craftsman Award, and Buyeo Culture Project.
Since 2013 YÉOL selects one master artisan who displays passion and commitment to traditional craftsmanship and systematically supports the award winner’s work from technical aspects to exhibition, promotion and sales support.
