With the rapid transition towards an super-aging society and the increasing societal focus on loneliness in Korea, the importance of cultural and artistic activities for the elderly has never been more emphasized. While many government schemes targeting the elderly in the fields of arts education and culture-into-life have been attempted over the past two decades, there has been relatively limited discussion on the significance of cultural activities for the elderly from the cultural policy-making point of view that reflects the contemporary trends of super-aging phenomenon and expansion of loneliness amongst the elderly. Against this backdrop, this study attempts to explore the ‘Cultural Activities for the Elderly' project, which has been initiated by the Korean Cultural Center Federation for the past 17 years, and illuminate its underlying problems. Drawing upon research findings, the study argues that there are four key issues; superficial perception of the target audience, ambiguity of policy objective, constraints of the provider-centered model, and limitation of conventional performance measures. In the conclusion, it presents the following four policy implications for cultural policy support for the elderly in the age of super-aging; the importance of appreciating individuality of participants, embracing the broadened meaning of cultural activities from the perspective of ‘relational culture’, converting to ‘an asset-based policy model’, and adopting the the concept of ‘cultural safety net’ as a performance measure.
