Cultural Activities at DNP
Aiming for social well-being
Arts and culture are essential to realizing a "social well-being" that gives people joy and inspiration in life.
With the aim of realizing a "social well-being," the DNP Group is working to provide opportunities for people to experience art and culture, develop new ways to enjoy art using its P&I (Printing and Information) technology and know-how, and build new cultural experience models that utilize the latest digital technologies such as VR/AR.
Promoting graphic design and graphic art
DNP, under the motto of "long-term commitment to areas close to our core business," is primarily involved in the visual arts field, which has a deep connection to printing, and in collaboration with DNP Foundation for Cultural Promotion, operates a gallery centered on planned exhibitions of graphic design and graphic art.
