Porsche Korea (Holger Gerrmann, CEO of Porsche Korea Ltd.) was awarded the ‘2021 Arts Supporter Grand Prize’ by the Arts Council Korea on the 14th in recognition of the social contribution of the “Porsche Do Dream” CSR campaign.

Through this award, Porsche Korea was recognized for its sincere projects to create a sustainable cultural and artistic environment based on the brand's values of 'dream' and 'passion'. Earlier this year, Porsche Korea expanded the scope of support of the 'Porsche Do Dream' campaign to the field of culture and art and donated 500 million KRW to the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture.

‘Porsche Do Dream Fill the Space’ became the first case of diversifying the financial resources for the culture and arts ecosystem by supporting approximately 500 artists in the performing arts industry, which has been under severe constraint following the necessary social distancing regulations.

Also, through the public art project 'Porsche Dream Art Ttareungi', a collaboration between Seoul's eco-friendly public bicycle 'Ttareungi' and a young Seoul designer, Porsche Korea provides opportunities for citizens to enjoy art in their daily lives and contributed to the creation of an eco-friendly art city.

Porsche Korea CEO Holger Gerrmann expressed his gratitude at the acceptance speech, “Porsche breaks new ground based on the dream of the perfect sports car and shares with the artists the dream of creating something unique.” He also added, “To keep this dream alive we want to support artists in different forms and formats and contribute to the diversity of art in Korea.”

Chairman Park Jong-gwan of the Arts Council stated, "I would like to congratulate and thank the supporters who shared and appreciated the value of culture and arts despite the difficult circumstances."

The ‘2021 Arts Supporter Grand Prize’, celebrating its 9th anniversary, awards companies and individuals that have taken the lead in art sponsorship over the year. 7 companies and 3 individual recipients were selected from a total of 8 categories through professional evaluations. Porsche Korea was awarded in the category of small-middle market enterprise.
