Iwona Blazwick has been announced as the curator of the 18th Istanbul Biennial to be organized by the Istanbul Foundation of Culture and Arts (IKSV) from Sept. 14 to Nov. 17, 2024.

TikTok has become the entertainment partner of the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV) as it celebrates its 50th anniversary.

The dates and lineup of the much-awaited 28th Istanbul Jazz Festival have been announced and it is set to kick off in September this year, welcoming music lovers once again.

As the world came to a near-standstill due to the novel coronavirus, so too has the entertainment and arts sector across the world.

Entertainers, artists, executives, and organizers worldwide are thinking about how to weather the virus' severe impact on show business and the fine arts.

As the novel coronavirus continues to take its toll on lives and forces many countries to impose quarantines, many major events, such as the Venice Biennale and Coachella, have been postponed. 

No big event in Turkey has been postponed yet, as it has one coronavirus-positive case confirmed so far.   

Organized by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV) for the 27th time this year, the "Istanbul Jazz Festival" will meet music enthusiasts between June 27 and July 14.
The festival, which will host over 300 local and foreign artists, will be held in 27 different venues of Istanbul.

It is a fact that Turkey's growing arts and culture area may become its most important soft power, according to Ali Güreli, founder and chairman of Contemporary Istanbul.

I first watched them on May 11 as they were performing their art at the entrance to the Arsenale where a number of works are being exhibited or performed at the 57th International Exhibition in Venice, or the Venice Biennale.

Organized by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), the Istanbul Film Festival's 36th edition kicked off with an opening gala on April 4. The opening gala brought the stars and distinguished figures of Turkish cinema together at TİM Show Center where Cinema Honorary Awards and plaques were presented. 

"ÇIN," a new work by Cevdet Erek, will be presented at the Pavilion of Turkey at the 57th International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di Venezia to be held from May 13 to Nov. 26. 

Organized by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV), the Turkish pavilion is located at Sale d'Armi, Arsenale, in the main venue of the biennale.
