Mission and Objectives

Bimeras Cultural Foundation was founded by artists and scholars of live arts in order to promote and enhance international collaborations in the field and to identify the problems in the cultural and artistic realm and to seek solutions to these. For about a decade, it has supported the international education and presentation of local artists and organized the creation of their work as co-productions with partners from abroad. It has gained invaluable experience and network from its undertakings and with the international projects it is a part of, it will also help Turkish culture to be valued and supported.
