Artweeks Istanbul will be held in two different venues this year

Artweeks Istanbul , one of Turkey's contemporary art gatherings, is preparing to meet art lovers with its 12th edition between October 15–26.

Launched in 2018 as a non-profit culture and arts platform, Artweeks Istanbul aims to offer an inclusive and accessible alternative to the traditional fair. Having connected hundreds of thousands of art lovers with hundreds of artists and galleries free of charge, the platform will be opening for the first time this year in Akaretler Sıraevler and It will be held simultaneously at The Ritz-Carlton Residences Istanbul B Block.

The meeting, which will also host special exhibitions by names such as Bülent Eczacıbaşı (Six Photographs) and Cem Güventürk (FloreLuctus), is taking place under the main sponsorship of UBS and the founding sponsorship of Bilgili Holding.

Enriched art experience

This year's dual-venue event, Artweeks Istanbul, offers a more layered art experience. The program will also include ArtTalks panels on art across various disciplines, as well as special gatherings and events enriched by music in collaboration with Bang & Olufsen.
