The IAAF Bodrum Art Fair, which we held for the eighth time this year in Bodrum, has successfully concluded after a magnificent five-day art gathering. Organized by Demos Fuarcılık in Bodrum, where cultural and artistic traffic intensifies during the summer season, our fair opened its doors at the Herodot Cultural Center on July 22-26, 2026, becoming one of the most prominent events in the region's arts and culture calendar.
The Meeting Point of Art in Bodrum
Drawing attention with its international participant profile and wide exhibition area, our fair featured renowned art galleries as well as independent artists, universities, art associations, and art publications. This rich diversity offered collectors, art professionals, and art lovers a comprehensive program that paved the way for exhibitions, brand-new discoveries, and international collaborations.
In this year's organization, we were proud to host 40 prestigious art galleries—some of which were from abroad—and over 500 artists. In the venue visited by approximately 4,000 art enthusiasts, the visionary works of master names such as Devrim Erbil, Mustafa Sekban, and Adviye Bal were met with great interest.
Featuring not only painting and sculpture but also multidisciplinary works of contemporary art, IAAF Bodrum provided an interactive experience for art lovers with inspiring talks, book-signing events, and live performances.
With Gratitude to Our Valuable Supporters
Following the enthusiastic opening ceremony of our fair, plaques of appreciation were presented to the individuals and institutions that supported our organization. In this context, the plaque for Istanbul Sanat Dergisi (Istanbul Art Magazine), which undertook the media sponsorship of our fair, was received by Editor-in-Chief Canan Toprakkaya on behalf of the magazine.
Endless thanks to all our artists, galleries, supporters, and visitors who were with us on this unforgettable adventure with the boundary-pushing and unifying power of art in the unique atmosphere of Bodrum. We look forward to meeting again in new projects!
