Across policy, planning, production, and consumption, the arts define how meaning is created and shared.

â–¼ Our Role
DSML HOLDINGS believes that arts and culture should not remain confined to markets where they are most compatible or hold an advantage.
They must demonstrate strength even in less aligned environments, achieving relevance across all conditions.
By amplifying the unique advantages of each major market and building on their diversity, we work to establish a truly global cultural and artistic market.
Through this mission, DSML HOLDINGS stands as both a bridge linking Korea, North America, and Europe, and as a leader in shaping the international cultural and artistic ecosystem.
