To prevent the epidemic, "art up," King's Town Bank accompanied the art and literature group to move

In response to reducing the epidemic alert to Level 2, various exhibition venues and art performances have also been relaxed simultaneously. Beijing Bank (2809) announced on the 4th that it would sponsor Tainan City Government 250,000 yuan, and the funds will be used for various art and cultural activities exhibitors and staff. The screening fee will help the arts and cultural groups return to normal, stand on the stage again, continue to bring joy and hope to the people, and face the new epidemic lifestyle together.

During the three-level alert period of the epidemic, the arts and literature circles cooperated with the epidemic prevention and canceled their performances. Faced with the empty venues, many arts and cultural groups expressed that they could only grit their teeth and wait for the audience to reunite when the epidemic slowed down. Tainan, which has a profound cultural heritage, has been planning many arts and cultural festivals with Tainan characteristics since many years ago under the promotion of the city government, such as the Tainan Art Festival, Nanying International Folk Art Festival...etc. Faced with the downgrade of warning, exhibition venues and Art and cultural performances were reopened for audience admission, and the post-epidemic art and cultural revitalization became the primary project. However, for performance groups that most need to interact with the public, if performers want to perform without wearing masks during official performances, they must issue a quick screening, PCR test negative certificate, and conduct regular tests every 7 days during the performance and work. The cost of testing is also a burden to the already embarrassed arts and cultural groups. In order to reduce the burden on the arts and cultural groups, assist the performers in returning to the stage, and ensure the health of the audience, Capital Bank sponsored the Tainan City Government NT$250,000 to provide free screenings for the performers and staff of various arts and cultural activities, so that the arts and cultural groups can feel at ease Rehearsal and performance.

The art and culture industry has flourished after all industries, but before, they have declined. Art and culture are the sources of enriching life and healing the soul, especially at this somewhat "boring" moment. Capital Bank has long supported a number of arts and cultural activities and hopes that through this action, it will respond to the "no loss of artistic and cultural talents and uninterrupted creative energy" so that the curtain will be pulled up again and the audience applause will be heard again.
