From 2010 to 2018, at its building on Istiklal Street, Istanbul’s main pedestrian artery for culture and arts, Arter presented 35 solo and group exhibitions to date with accompanying publications, talks, performances and workshops; and provided support for the production of 183 artworks in the framework of its programme. At its new building designed by Grimshaw Architects, London, Arter presents exhibitions from but not limited to its collection as well as performances and events across disciplines, expanding the range of its programmes.

Since 2007, Arter has been collecting and caring for contemporary works of art, engaging in their creative interpretation through exhibitions as well as encouraging and funding the production of new ones. The Arter Collection values and welcomes novel ideas, discourses, and tendencies in contemporary art, embracing all formats that might be considered unconventional.

Arter’s Learning Programme presents processes and activities that aspire to interpret our times through art. Providing grounds for everyone to enjoy creative processes, the programme facilitates dialogue around contemporary art through exploring the interrelationships between its multiple contexts, the audience’s daily lives, and imaginations. Shaped through a receptive and responsive attitude towards users’ affinities, the programme intends to build lasting connections between artists, audiences and partners through Interpretation Events, Workshops for Adults, Workshops for Children, Guided Tours, Sign Language, and Access Tours, Lunch Time, Contemporary Art Seminars, Movement Workshops, and Podcasts. Arter’s Learning Programme also features two long-term programmes: Teen Council and Arter Research Programme.
