Young Traces | Overview
The "Artists of the Future" exhibition offers an alternative perspective to the traditional functioning of art fairs, aiming to provide visibility for young artists not represented by galleries. While fairs are one of the most important platforms connecting artists with collectors and institutions, they often only accommodate artists represented by galleries. However, many artists producing diverse forms of expression, experimental techniques, or alternative approaches remain outside this structure. "Artists of the Future" addresses this need by bringing together young artists of various production styles and career stages within the context of art fairs.
This exhibition focuses not only on discovering new names but also on reflecting the diversity and dynamism of the art world. It offers collectors, art professionals, and viewers a direct opportunity to engage with creative productions developing outside of mainstream galleries. Thus, "Artists of the Future" enhances the prestige of art fairs, facilitating visibility for diverse voices shaping the future of contemporary art.
Vision
By offering an alternative perspective to the traditional structure of art fairs, our vision is to enable artists without gallery representation to gain visibility and to reflect the diversity of the art world.
Our Mission
To bring together artists who produce works through diverse forms of expression, experimental techniques, and alternative approaches with collectors, art professionals, and audiences within the context of art fairs.
Our Means
Within the scope of IAAF IZMIR and IAAF ISTANBUL Art Fairs, concurrent exhibitions will be organized alongside the fairs, providing 100 emerging artists at each fair with the opportunity to exhibit their work and gain visibility.
Our Goal
At the end of three years, to organize a Genç İzler Exhibition that creates a strong impact across Türkiye by showcasing new works by approximately 600 emerging artists, and to introduce new artists to collectors and art enthusiasts.
