In the Korean art toy scene, opportunities for artists to connect are rare outside of formal exhibitions or personal studio visits. Unless sharing a workspace, most creators work in isolation. This makes it difficult to find practical advice or fresh ideas on crucial stages of the process, such as technical know-how, social media promotion, marketing, packaging, and artwork sales.

TOY-O aims to break through these barriers by providing a space where artists gather regularly to exchange valuable information and insights. Furthermore, through TOYO FREEMARKET, we hope to deepen public understanding of art toys and expand the community's horizons, striving to build a healthy, creative network that collectively shapes the future of the art toy scene.
