With Akbank Sanat, Art is Everywhere
Akbank Sanat has been supporting the development of contemporary art in Türkiye and bringing to life international projects across various artistic disciplines since 1993. Now, Akbank Sanat is entering a new phase by relocating its art center to a more expansive venue to host its events. The new address of the center will be Karaköy Yeni Han in Galata, a historical building owned by Akbank. Following a dedicated architectural renovation process, the aim is to preserve the building’s historical and cultural heritage while creating a contemporary space that meets the needs of modern art. Akbank Sanat will continue to engage with art enthusiasts in this exceptional venue.
During this transition, the institution will carry on its art activities uninterruptedly under the motto “Art is Everywhere,” utilizing various locations.
Built in 1893, Karaköy Yeni Han served for many years as a hub for commercial and financial institutions of its time. Since 1964, it has also hosted Akbank operations. In this new chapter, the transformation of the building into the Akbank Art Center will be led by architect Han Tümertekin. In this way, Karaköy Yeni Han will embark on a new journey as a vibrant center of culture and the arts.
