DOAS: A Beacon of Hope and Creativity

Welcome to Dreams of Artist Society (DOAS), where art is not just a medium, but a movement—a beacon of hope for a world that often feels divided. Founded in 2018, DOAS emerged from a belief that creativity holds the power to transform lives, bridge cultures, and unite people across borders. Our organization is officially registered in Bangladesh and Spain, and it has grown into an international community of artists, dreamers, and visionaries dedicated to fostering global unity through the arts.

Our Mission: Empowering Through Art

At DOAS, we see art as more than just a form of expression—it’s a universal language that can heal, inspire, and create change. Our mission is simple, yet profound:

  • Empower individuals by unlocking their creative potential, allowing them to tell their stories and rise above circumstances.
  • Promote cultural exchange to deepen understanding and empathy among diverse communities, creating a more connected world.
  • Create a more equitable and just society where everyone, regardless of background or circumstance, can participate in the shared human experience through the arts.

Art has the power to transcend barriers, whether they be cultural, social, or economic. DOAS stands as a living testament to this belief, providing platforms where creativity is the bridge that unites people.

Our Achievements: Transforming Lives and Communities

Since its inception, DOAS has touched countless lives and ignited meaningful cultural dialogue around the world. Each of our achievements has been a testament to the magic that happens when artists, communities, and global citizens come together.

  • World Music and Art Festival 2023: A celebration of global creativity, this festival brought together artists from six countries, offering a unique platform for collaboration and exchange. Spain’s celebrated artist Dulce Coseda joined hands with ten eminent professors from Dhaka and Chittagong Fine Arts Universities in Bangladesh to curate an art camp and exhibition that transcended cultural boundaries.

  • International Music Festival 2024: Artists from eight countries performed together, blending their diverse musical traditions into something entirely new. This event exemplified how music can unite us, creating a shared rhythm in a world of many voices.

  • Bangladesh Armed Forces Cultural Festivals: DOAS partnered with the Bangladesh Navy, Air Force, and Army to organize cultural events that celebrated the country’s heritage and honored the contributions of those who serve. Through these festivals, we demonstrated how the arts can inspire national pride and foster solidarity.

  • Community Outreach and Welfare Initiatives: DOAS is not just about grand festivals—it’s about people. Whether it’s hosting flood relief concerts in Bangladesh and Spain, or offering free courses in art, photography, and music to underprivileged communities, we are committed to using art as a tool for social change. These initiatives have empowered individuals to rise out of adversity, transforming their creativity into a force for good. We’ve seen young people, once lost to the shadows of poverty or societal neglect, rediscover their passion for life through the arts.

DOAS Groove Gallery and Dev Hub: Merging Art with Technology

Our organization continues to evolve with the times. The DOAS Groove Gallery provides a stage for live music performances and exclusive recordings, while also serving as a marketplace for merchandise and musical instruments. It’s a hub where artists can share their craft with the world, and where audiences can experience creativity in its purest form.

At the same time, DOAS Dev Hub is our tech-focused department that integrates information technology with art. From web design and software development to ICT education, digital marketing, and SEO services, the Dev Hub ensures that our mission to spread art and culture extends into the digital realm. This combination of art and technology allows us to engage with a wider audience, making culture more accessible than ever before.

Global Reach and Expansion: A World United by Art

Though our roots are in Bangladesh, our branches extend across the globe. DOAS is officially recognized in Spain, and we have recently expanded our operations to Estonia. Our international presence reflects our belief that art knows no borders. By creating spaces for cross-cultural dialogue, we are fostering a global community where artists and audiences from different backgrounds can learn, collaborate, and grow together.

The Future: DOAS Cultural Beacon – A Global Hub for Change

Our future is bright, and it is embodied in our most ambitious project yet—the DOAS Cultural Beacon. This groundbreaking initiative is more than just a building; it’s a global center for cultural research, education, and exchange. Situated in Asia, this hub will serve as a model for the world, bringing together artists, scholars, and dreamers from every corner of the globe.

The DOAS Cultural Beacon will include:

  • Extensive libraries and archives, preserving cultural heritage and making it accessible to all.
  • Grand halls and auditoriums where performances and exhibitions will inspire new generations of creators.
  • State-of-the-art studios and classrooms, designed to cultivate learning, collaboration, and innovation in the arts.
  • Art galleries showcasing diverse works that reflect the rich tapestry of world cultures.
  • A language club to promote intercultural communication and understanding, ensuring that language is not a barrier but a bridge.
  • Light sports areas, where physical well-being is nurtured alongside creative expression, recognizing the importance of holistic development.

The DOAS Cultural Beacon will be a place where creativity thrives, where new ideas are born, and where people from all walks of life come together to build a more harmonious and vibrant world.
