Izartist Art Days Started

İZARTİST Art Days, organized in partnership with the International İZARTİST Association, İzmir Dokuz Eylül University Faculty of Fine Arts and hosted by İzmir Metropolitan Municipality, started with the opening of the exhibition on April 5.

Artists present artistic impressions inspired by the cycle of nature by exhibiting their works in different disciplines such as painting, sculpture, graphics, ceramics, watercolor, installation and video art. At the same time, they call for developing a culture of awareness of art and sensitivity to environmental issues through panel programs. In the panels organized within the scope of art days, topics such as the representation of nature in art, the relationship between nature-human-art from a philosophical perspective, art and psychotherapy are discussed.

President of the International İZARTİST Association and curator of İZARTİST Art Days, Muzaffer Bektaş is known by the artist name Mona Muzo. Bektaş stated that the goal of their association is to create a positive impact in society and raise awareness in the field of art by supporting art and artists.
