By establishing this gallery, I wanted to create a space for their valuable works. Since our opening, we will be hosting new exhibitions and events with different artists every month. We will also organize workshops that will attract the attention of all of Bursa, especially in Kayapa and Nilüfer. We also place special emphasis on recycling and upcycling-themed workshops. We will also support the social welfare activities of various associations at our gallery, free of charge, with the proceeds going to social projects. If every work done in our gallery contributes to a project, we are happy to be a partner. Kayapa is a rapidly developing region, and we want to contribute to this development through the unifying power of art.”
