the istanbul artıst resıdency 2022

The Istanbul Artist Residency (IAR) is an international art and culture exchange platform for contemporary artists. The artist residency project is part of a strategy to place the city at the level of the progressive cultural center. Istanbul has great prospects for the development of the art(ist) residency project as a platform for an art exchange, combining the cultures of the East and West. The main goal of the IAR is to establish an international art center in Istanbul that will actively engage contemporary artists, curators, art communities, and art enthusiasts to cultivate multicultural understanding through the arts. Cooperating with the diplomatic corps of different countries in Istanbul, the İAR aims to contribute to the development of cultural diplomacy through peaceful dialogue.

Since 2019, artists from eight (8) different countries have had the opportunity to take part in the IAR project, including Turkey, Ukraine, Poland, South Africa, Greece, New Zealand, Georgia, and Spain.
