ArtCenter/Istanbul, a contemporary arts venture launched in 2008 by the Borusan Center for Culture and Arts, has the mission of contributing to the progress of contemporary art production and appreciation in Istanbul.  ArtCenter/Istanbul provides studio space under favorable economic conditions to young and promising artists during the embryonic stages of their careers. Supplying vital resources and support for the production of art, creating opportunities for experimental and innovative artistic projects and contributing to interdisciplinary and intercultural dialogue are among its primary objectives.  It offers workshop activities in the areas of painting, sculpture, photography, video and multimedia.

ArtCenter/Istanbul is situated on Ayhan Işık Street in Beyoğlu, where most of Istanbul’s cultural centers are located. Thanks to its favorable location, it serves Istanbul’s residents and visitors via artist studios open to the public. In this way it aims to advance the notion that everyone can create a bond with the creative energy by making the process of artistic output a part of the everyday life of the community. ArtCenter/İstanbul will also nourish the artists’ creative efforts and will host activities that will encourage the public to appreciate its value.
