ARTCONTACT Istanbul

Every year, the ARTCONTACT Istanbul attracts numerous art enthusiasts with over 100 exhibitors, providing them with the latest contemporary artworks. Under the motto "Art in Public Space," the event transforms the outdoor area of the venue into a magnificent sculpture garden, housing works of both emerging and established artists. Visitors not only witness thousands of artworks presented by hundreds of artists but also get the rare opportunity to personally engage with these creatives. Alongside the exhibition, conferences, workshops, and live performances enrich the program and expand visitors' understanding and appreciation of art.

The fair draws collectors, gallery owners, and art lovers from Turkey and abroad. It also offers space for solo exhibitions, though direct participation by artists is not allowed. However, these artists have the opportunity to participate in the fair through art galleries. Thanks to good connections, getting to the venue is uncomplicated. A shuttle service is available during opening hours, departing every 15 minutes from the nearest subway station. For those arriving by car, ample outdoor parking is available.

The first day of the trade fair is usually reserved for trade visitors and journalists.

The ARTCONTACT will take place on 5 days from Wednesday, 21. May to Sunday, 25. May 2025 in Istanbul.
