about

The Art Lobbyist, a wholly owned subsidiary of LISSOME, is a premier research, consulting, and technology-driven platform dedicated to fostering connectivity between the arts and non-arts sectors. Established in 2023, it serves as a strategic hub, offering management consulting, IT advisory services, and system integration solutions to private enterprises, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The platform’s core objective is to bridge the gap between creative industries and broader economic sectors, facilitating innovative solutions at the intersection of culture, business, and public policy.

Over the past two decades, East Asia has undergone a profound transformation in contemporary art and design, emerging as a key player in the global cultural economy. This rapid evolution has created an urgent need for cross-sector collaboration and strategic intelligence. The Art Lobbyist was established to address this need, providing research, digital tools, and consulting services that connect policymakers, cultural institutions, and private stakeholders in a cohesive and forward-thinking ecosystem.

A core pillar of The Art Lobbyist’s mission is to democratize access to the arts by breaking down traditional barriers between institutions, businesses, and the general public. While museums and galleries have made significant strides in expanding their reach, many still operate in insular frameworks that limit accessibility and engagement. Likewise, the private sector—particularly financial and retail industries—often lacks direct channels for meaningful participation in cultural initiatives. The Art Lobbyist actively bridges these divides, fostering collaboration that unlocks new opportunities for economic and creative synergy.

By leveraging business analytics, policy expertise, and digital innovation, The Art Lobbyist serves as a dynamic connector between the arts and non-arts communities, driving cross-sector partnerships that cultivate creative solutions and sustainable development. Through strategic outreach, technology integration, and policy-driven insights, the platform empowers clients to navigate the complexities of the contemporary art landscape while building lasting, impactful relationships across industries.
