General Information

Today the hints for getting rid of the chaotic atmosphere the world has been going through, can be found in art itself. Because art is civilization. With the power we gained through that belief and  thanks to our courage based upon our past acquisitions and capabilities, we have founded this organization with the purpose of supporting art, especially art education. • To contribute to the cultural and artistic environment in our country, to try to enrich it, to meet up to the universal criteria by following the worldwide developments in the cultural and artistic arena. • Nationally and internationally claim our cultural values and promote our affluence. • To make the residents keep in touch with art and moreover, make them produce art. To achieve our goals, we acknowledge the universal criteria as our main values and in line with it we try to contribute to art, education and human. We look through a wide opened window to the world, from the magnificent geography of Ayvalık in which we live.
