Paradise Culture Foundation emphasizes the revitalization of international exchange and support of artists. While increasing the awareness of Korea to the rest of the world and supporting talented artists to break into the world stage, the Foundation has also endeavored to enrich the field of art and culture in order to make cultural experiences available.

A prime example of the Foundation's work towards international exchange is the cultural exchange program that introduces Korean literature to various regions around the world and widens the understanding of cultures from those regions. Since its establishment, the Foundation endeavored towards cultural exchange and executed many cultural exchange programs such as the artist goodwill program with Japan, Germany, Russia, Peru, etc., mutual visiting programs, mutual recitation programs, and translation publication programs. The Korea-China Literature Conference, started in 2007, is an extension of cultural exchange efforts. Continuous exchange with China is crucial and necessary considering the country's proximity and history with Korea. The exchange between Korea and China is expected to be a significant opportunity to open up new horizons for future artists and their work.

Another important aspect of the Foundation's efforts is the support of young artists. For example, since 1997, the New York Art/Omi Program selects two young artists each year to participate in the residency program. The Foundation supports all expenses during their stay. 'Up-And-Comers'exhibition is held as an Art/Omi contest and chooses competitive artists. 'Up-and-Comers'is beginning to establish itself as a group exhibition that connects the New York Art/Omi program and Korea.

The Foundation, along with the Paradise Group, is faithfully carrying out its role as a firm supporter of various performances, exhibitions and other art and cultural events.
